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.
