American Sniper Chris Kyle: Life and Death of the Most Lethal American Sniper

by M.L. Ross

Chris Kyle was a true American hero. He is known as the American Sniper. Chris Kyle was one of America’s greatest snipers, credited with 160 confirmed kills. He was tragically killed by Eddie Routh, a former Iraqi marine. He died senselessly before the age of 40, not on the battlefield defending his country, but shot in the back and head by the very man he was trying to help deal with PTSD. Chris Kyle protected troops in the ground during four tours of duty in Iraq. He was involved in several key Iraqi battles. He achieved a mythical status while protecting troops in Iraq. If the soldiers on the ground knew he was providing sniper cover of the area, they felt safe and secure in their operation. Chris Kyle’s life serves as an example of the effects of war on people, the trauma they experience on the battlefield, and the challenges involved in coming home and integrating back into regular life. This hero’s life collided with a man who could not deal with the effects of war, and the consequences were tragic. Both Chris Kyle and Chad Littlefield were murdered by Eddie Routh. This short ebook will fill you in with the key facts and events in the life and career of one of the most talented and skilled snipers in U.S. military history. You will learn about his life experiences, his views on being a sniper, and some of the debate that has been ignited across the country as a result of the American Sniper movie. Chris Kyle was a loving and devoted family man, and he leaves behind a wife and two children. He setup an organization to train law enforcement in combat, and was devoted to many causes that help veterans. Chris Kyle is fondly remembered and honored by the thousands of men and women in the armed forced who he no doubt helped to save and protect over his tours of duty, and those whose lives he touched back in the States after his return and work with veteran organizations.

In the book American Sniper by Chris Kyle, The main character is Chris and he talks about what it takes to be SEAL and what it's like. The setting is all around where he goes on his trips and missions. He also does include his personal life and how it's like to have have a wife while being in the army.I think the theme of this book is grit because in the Chris had to make lot's of tough decisions and had to take lead. I like this book because it has a good story and also gives a good life lesson. It also gives you a small experience of what it's like to be a SEAL.

None

I didn't like this book. It did not go into detail. I thought I was reading the biography in detail.

Nice for a short book.

Informative and interesting. Could have been a little more detailed. Not bad at all though for a .99 cent book!
