American Sniper

Description

NOW A BLOCKBUSTER MOTION PICTURE DIRECTED BY CLINT EASTWOODA??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 A??The LegendA?; meanwhile, the enemy feared him so much they named him al-Shaitan (A??the devilA?) and placed a bounty on his head. Kyle, who was tragically killed in 2013, writes honestly about the pain of warA??including the deaths of two close SEAL teammatesA??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, KyleA??s masterful account of his extraordinary battlefield experiences ranks as one of the great war memoirs of all time.
