Más información sobre el libro
He is the deadliest American sniper ever, known as “the devil” by his enemies and “the legend” by his Navy SEAL brothers. From 1999 to 2009, U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle recorded the most career sniper kills in U.S. military history, with the Pentagon confirming over 150 kills. Iraqi insurgents feared him so much they placed a bounty on his head. Kyle earned legendary status among SEALs, Marines, and U.S. Army soldiers, whom he protected with deadly accuracy from rooftops and stealth positions. His gripping account of extraordinary battlefield experiences stands as one of the great war memoirs. A native Texan, Kyle learned to shoot on childhood hunting trips and was a champion saddle-bronc rider before joining the Navy. After 9/11, he was thrust into the War on Terror and became a world-class sniper, recording a personal-record 2,100-yard kill shot outside Baghdad. He bravely rescued trapped Marines in Fallujah and faced insurgents in close combat in Ramadi. Kyle candidly discusses the pain of war, including being shot twice and losing close friends. The narrative also honors his fellow warriors and includes moving accounts from his wife, Taya, who shares the strains of war on their family. Adrenaline-charged and deeply personal, this memoir offers a thrilling eyewitness account of war.
