The #1 New York Times bestselling memoir of U.S. Navy Seal Chris Kyle | and the source for Clint Eastwood’s blockbuster movie which was nominated for six academy awards | including best picture.From 1999 to 2009 | U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle recorded the most career sniper kills in United States military history. His fellow American warriors | whom he protected with deadly precision from rooftops and stealth positions during the Iraq War | called him “The Legend”; meanwhile | the enemy feared him so much they named him al-Shaitan (“the devil”) and placed a bounty on his head. Kyle | who was tragically killed in 2013 | writes honestly about the pain of war—including the deaths of two close SEAL teammates—and in moving first-person passages throughout | his wife | Taya | speaks openly about the strains of war on their family | as well as on Chris. Gripping and unforgettable | Kyle’s masterful account of his extraordinary battlefield experiences ranks as one of the great war memoirs of all time.
