Now a major motion picture directed by Clint Eastwood and starring Bradley Cooper and Sienna Miller. This special edition of the #1 New York Times bestselling memoir is packed with brand new material to give readers a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the film.

He was the top American sniper of all time, called "the legend" by his Navy SEAL brothers, and a hero by those he served on the home front . . .

From 1999 to 2009, U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle recorded the most career sniper kills in United States military history. Kyle earned legendary status among his fellow SEALs, Marines, and U.S. Army soldiers, whom he protected with deadly accuracy from rooftops and stealth positions. Gripping and unforgettable, Kyle's masterful account of his extraordinary battlefield experiences ranks as one of the greatest war memoirs of all time.

A native Texan who learned to shoot on childhood hunting trips with his father, Kyle was a champion saddle-bronc rider prior to joining the Navy. After 9/11, he was thrust onto the front lines of the War on Terror, and soon found his calling as a world-class sniper who performed best under fire. He recorded a personal-record 2,100-yard kill shot outside Baghdad; in Fallujah, Kyle braved heavy fire to rescue a group of Marines trapped on a street; in Ramadi, he stared down insurgents with his pistol in close combat.

Kyle talks honestly about the pain of war – of twice being shot, and experiencing the tragic deaths of two close friends. American Sniper also honours Kyle's fellow warriors, who raised hell on and off the battlefield. And in moving first-person accounts throughout, Kyle's wife, Taya, speaks openly about the strains of war on their marriage and children, as well as on Chris.

Adrenaline-charged and deeply personal, American Sniper is a thrilling eyewitness account of service and sacrifice that only one man could tell.

About Author: SEAL Team 3 chief Chris Kyle (1974-2013) served four combat tours in Operation Iraqi Freedom, during which he was awarded two Silver Stars, five Bronze Stars with Valor, and numerous other citations. He lived with his family in Texas. Kyle and his friend Chad Littlefield were shot and killed at a shooting range in Texas by a fellow veteran marine on February 2, 2013. The man accused of killing them is awaiting trial for murder.

An easy enough read, however the book doesn’t really develop. It does, however give a clear insight into what it’s like to be an American soldier throughout the Iraq war. Looking forward to the film, I’m thinking having Brad Cooper and Clint Eastward name behind it will help at the box office.
