About this listen

NOW A BLOCKBUSTER MOTION PICTURE DIRECTED BY CLINT EASTWOOD—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.

Does contain typical US machoism not found usually in books by Aussie solders but still a really good book.
If you can deal with that, would recommend. Probably 4.5 stars is s more accurate rating from me.

This man truly deserves credit for what he has done, and the realist perspective on war gives the reader an understanding that I’ve personally never had. Americans are seen as war hungry, but these men are trained to kill, simple as that, they done start war, they follow orders. Your government starts war. Much respect and peace to this mans soul. Rip.

Phenomenal legacy, just, and sacrifice.
