Summary
Now a major motion 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。

Important。 This is an impressive book on the Iraq War， from a soldier’s perspective。 The book is likely a Rorschach test for Americans: your opinion of the sniper will be shaped by your background。 It’s a great book for a book club if your club can talk about politics。 The story isn’t just the sniper’s time in Iraq;

it also includes time from the homefront。 The homefront is crucial to understanding the book。 Comments from the sniper’s wife are included throughout the story。 For example， one of the sniper’s stories about an operation ends positively with “We loved it，” then the narrative cuts to his wife saying， “I had a hard time with the kids after Chris deployed。” The editor did a great job breaking up the sniper’s enthusiasm with his wife’s laments about how he is needed at home for the family。 That’s the main conflict of the book。 The wife thinks that family comes before country， but the sniper thinks country comes before family。 The book shows how the military keeps the sniper from his wife。 For example， the sniper tells what he thinks is a funny story about how his buddies marked him up a couple days before his wedding so he would have all sorts of temporary disfigurements on his wedding day。 That’s awful。 The sniper later justifies the hazing （he says it helps build trust and understanding among your team members）。 Regardless of the benefits， there must be a better way。 Navy SEALs like the author have a 90% divorce rate。 That is a lot of human suffering。 You’ll also read about the workday stuff of being a soldier。 Gearheads who want to hear opinions about weapons from America’s “most lethal” sniper are in luck。 As a lawyer， I was more interested in other parts of a soldier’s job。 For example， the sniper is not a fan of the “ROEs” （rules of engagement） which put strict requirements on who he can kill with a sniper rifle， and how he documents them with witnesses to corroborate his stories。 I appreciate this level of bureaucracy even if the sniper hated it。 Maybe body cameras could help。 The work culture is more interesting than the actual job。 A recurring word is “bad-ass。” This is an ideal for the sniper to live up to。 Even the sniper’s wife is in awe of how much of a bad-ass her husband is。 It’s jarring to see this in writing， as if being a bad-ass is an actual life goal that adults should have。 It’s not really defined anywhere; you’re just supposed to know what it means。 I won’t try to define it myself。 I’ll miss something。 I can say that part of being a “bad-ass” is inspiring fear （maybe Nietzsche would approve？）。 The sniper is excited about being fearsome （he helped popularize the use of the Punisher’s logo from the comic books “what the Punisher did was cool: He righted wrongs。 He killed bad guys。 He made wrongdoers fear him 。。。 We wanted people to know， We’re here and we want to fuck with you 。。。 Fear us。 Because we will kill you， motherfucker。”）; he also used Crusader cross imagery）。 I was reminded of General Sherman’s https://www。goodreads。com/book/show/3。。。 where he said that there was an aggressively violent and fearsome part of the population in the South that we needed to assimilate into the U。S。 military otherwise they’d cause us lots of problems internally。 The author’s word choice is revealing。 He calls himself as a “warrior，” not a “soldier。” To me， this conjures up the idea of a raw barbarian fighter rather than the discipline and professionalism we’d expect from the U。S。 military。 The author also says he has been “trained to kill。” If there were a technology that allowed him to disable his adversaries rather than kill them， it’s hard to imagine he’d choose to do that （at one point in the book， we see the consequences of shooting someone without killing them: the shooter recovers the body from the battlefield under the soldiers’ informal rule of “you shot him， you save him。”）。 The sniper and his friends create challenges for each other as if the war is a video game that they’ve gotten too good at: “No pistol kill yet？ You have to get at least one。” The author has problems with women。 His marriage needs a lot of work， and he knows that he’s making sacrifices there throughout the book。 In other interactions with women， he’s unapologetic。 He visits strip clubs。 He moons a married woman。 He wastes time with pornography。 It’s revealing how casually he talks about some of this， often without a hint of shame。I’ve mentioned many of the author’s personal problems， but that’s not the full picture。 He was a good person in many ways。 It’s easy to see why many people find this book inspiring。I didn’t find it inspiring。 Instead， I found myself pitying the author。 I found myself comparing the book to The Autobiography of Malcolm X。 Both authors are Americans defined by their backgrounds， and both felt that they were taking control of their lives just as they were becoming pawns （Malcolm X for Elijah Muhammad， the sniper for the U。S。 military）。 In both books， the authors only gain some perspective on themselves near the end。 Unlike Malcolm X， the sniper doesn’t renounce the military for ruining his marriage。 At most， he complains about “the brass，” but later he defends the military leadership， saying they should have more independence from America’s civilian leadership （a dangerous and anti-democratic opinion）。 This is an easy book to recommend。 It is already essential reading to understand the war in Iraq， and it’s easy to read。 Skim the sections about military equipment if you’re uninterested， but don’t skip the parts about the homefront。 The conflict between family and country is the most important part。 。。。more

A true American Hero。 I enjoyed the stories and hearing of his experience both leading up to and coming down from his War service。 The story that time seem disjointed and take tangents from time to time。 His co-author could have done a much better job at smoothing things out。

My book is called American sniper and the author of this book is Chris Kyle who is also the American sniper。 This book takes place in training camp and Iraq。 Chris is considered Americas most deadly sniper。 I found this book because my dad really liked it and he said i should read it。Chris grew up in Odessa Texas he worked at a ranch everyday after he finished his school work。 Chris also had a side hobby where he really liked to go bull riding until he got into a accident where the bull charged My book is called American sniper and the author of this book is Chris Kyle who is also the American sniper。 This book takes place in training camp and Iraq。 Chris is considered Americas most deadly sniper。 I found this book because my dad really liked it and he said i should read it。Chris grew up in Odessa Texas he worked at a ranch everyday after he finished his school work。 Chris also had a side hobby where he really liked to go bull riding until he got into a accident where the bull charged into him and put him up against the fence and broke his hand。 Chris had to get pins in his hands for the rest of his life。 Chris heard about seals and he really wanted to serve his country so he tried joining them he had some trouble joining though because of the pins in his arm they would not let him join but they still let him in。 Chris is Americas most deadly sniper he had 160 kills in Iraq。I really liked the ending Chris goes back home from Iraq in August 2008。 Chris goes to see his friends and family and lives off his life like a normal person would。 Chris goes into a program that is made to see the effects of stress on soldiers。 Chris has a test result of when he enters combat his blood pressure and heart rate drop which is the opposite of how the average person acts。 My personal opinion on this book is that it is really good and enjoyable I don’t like to read books and i liked reading it。 I think that people who like books with action in it and dont really like reading will really enjoy this book。 。。。more

American Sniper is a non-fiction autobiography written by one of the most accomplished U。S。 snipers， Chris Kyle。 The book is about how and why he got into the military， his time in the military， his home life， and how being deployed affects his life positively and negatively。 I liked this book because of the way he writes about negative things about being deployed in the military and how he raises awareness for soldiers struggling with adjusting to home life。 I also like how Chris’s writing is v American Sniper is a non-fiction autobiography written by one of the most accomplished U。S。 snipers， Chris Kyle。 The book is about how and why he got into the military， his time in the military， his home life， and how being deployed affects his life positively and negatively。 I liked this book because of the way he writes about negative things about being deployed in the military and how he raises awareness for soldiers struggling with adjusting to home life。 I also like how Chris’s writing is very honest and he tells his stories in his own way。 This book is a great read for anyone who wants to hear his amazing life story。 。。。more

Book: American SniperAuthor: Chris KyleRating: 4 Out of 5 StarsI think I liked this， but I’m really not sure。 There were a lot of parts that I really enjoyed， but there were also some things that really bothered me about this one。 While I do really appreciate what Chris Kyle did， there were just some things in here that I really don’t agree with。 To me， this was about the Navy SEAL Chris Kyle and nothing else。 What also really bothered me is that fact that Taya wrote pretty decent chunks of this Book: American SniperAuthor: Chris KyleRating: 4 Out of 5 StarsI think I liked this， but I’m really not sure。 There were a lot of parts that I really enjoyed， but there were also some things that really bothered me about this one。 While I do really appreciate what Chris Kyle did， there were just some things in here that I really don’t agree with。 To me， this was about the Navy SEAL Chris Kyle and nothing else。 What also really bothered me is that fact that Taya wrote pretty decent chunks of this book and is not credited as a co-author…。Maybe that was her choice though…。I don’t know…。This book is completely honest and unpolished。 I mean， this is supposed to be Chris Kyle telling his story that way that he saw it-even though there are two other names on the cover。 This means that he is going to tell it and call it like he saw it。 It is unpolished and the language will offend some people。 It is a war story told by one of the many people who fought in the war。 The tone of the entire book is talking America up and anyone who isn’t American is well bad。 Like I said earlier in the review， I do really appreciate what Chris Kyle did。 He has the most confirmed sniper kills in American history and saved a lot of people’s lives。 However， just the over all way that he handled it just didn’t sit all that well with me。 Throughout the whole book， we hear Chris tell us that he was just doing his job， he loved it， and it was all about being a team， but we also hear him brag more about what he has done and put done others who， in his eyes， hadn’t done as much。 Throughout this whole book， I got a sense that if you weren’t a SEAL or a Marine， then you weren’t good enough for him。 Yet， he goes on about not wanting to be in charge and to be part of the team。 Whatever…。I do like the brutal honestly that is put into this book。 We have a man who enjoys what he does。 I know a lot of people are upset because he didn’t really example why he enjoyed being in the service。 I get it。 However， can’t people just enjoy what they do without really having a reason？ While I was reading， that passion really came off the page。 If everyone was that passionate about their job and work， then just stop and think about what this country could be？ It’s okay to like your job and what you do without putting a reason to it。 Let’s face it， not everyone could do what Christ Kyle did。 There is probably a reason why he was good at it。 I really liked the family aspect of the book too。 We get to see both sides of it。 We get to see Chris’s and Taya’s。 While I was reading those parts， I got a sense that they were still working on a lot。 We have Taya who has pretty much raised the kids on her own because of Chris’s deployment。 We see Chris struggle to form a relationship with them and the impact that it had on their marriage。 I really liked that they talked about the problems in their marriage， because it shows just how much of an impact that service can have。 Everyone wants to paint this picture perfect image of the military family when it’s really not。 I really liked the honestly that we got。 Anyway， this one was a tricky one to read and rate。 I still stand by my four star rating-I think。 。。。more

I read American Sniper and enjoyed the book。 It is written in a style where Kyle， a navy Seal sniper wrote of his personal experiences and also reflects his personal opinions of the people being characterized at each moment。He doesn’t attempt to be politically correct in his descriptions。 This is important in this day and age where one may have a pride in his nation of origin and lend his support to the fullest extent possible in defense of these values。He is a true American hero！Claude

Overall， I enjoyed listening to this。 The stories this guy had to tell are bananas， and it was cool getting a window into his life， learning about SEALs and snipers， and hearing his on-the-ground account of the War in Iraq。 My favorite story is the one about the guys trying to cross a river on beach balls。 That cracked me up。 I gather that a lot of people disliked this because of the matter-of-fact way he talked about killing people。 That doesn't bother me。 It's war and soldiers kill soldiers。 T Overall， I enjoyed listening to this。 The stories this guy had to tell are bananas， and it was cool getting a window into his life， learning about SEALs and snipers， and hearing his on-the-ground account of the War in Iraq。 My favorite story is the one about the guys trying to cross a river on beach balls。 That cracked me up。 I gather that a lot of people disliked this because of the matter-of-fact way he talked about killing people。 That doesn't bother me。 It's war and soldiers kill soldiers。 The good guys kill the bad guys （from whichever perspective）。 He saved a ton of American lives by taking Iraqis'。 Maybe people are more upset about war itself and they're just taking it out on Chris Kyle for embracing his role。 What did bother me though were the additional justifications he made--and that seemed pervasive--for killing people。 Right at the beginning of the book， he explains and justifies calling the people they were fighting "savages，" and more specifically they were all "evil savages。" He repeats the words over and over with nary a sentence of reflection on the function of dehumanizing a group of people nor a thought given to the fact that "one person's terrorist is another person's freedom fighter。" At the end of the book， he comes back to this， saying that he rests easy knowing that every single person he killed was evil。 And he knows he's getting into heaven because he accepted Jesus （who presumably agrees that all the people he killed were evil）。 Boy， I hope he chose the correct religion out of the thousands that have existed throughout history！ This book does not have a lot of deep thoughts。 The guy is straightforward as can be。 But my point is that you don't need a religious justification or an ethnocentric justification to kill people。 War is enough justification。 Killing someone because they are trying to kill you and your friends is enough justification。 But adding religion and ethnocentrism certainly help you feel better about it！ This relates to Chris Kyle's "black-and-white" worldview， which he is frank about in the beginning。 This helped me understand why he was quick to dehumanize Iraqis and why he was so certain that he was doing right and good and moral things， why he didn't grapple with these questions throughout the book。 But， he falls into the hypocrisy trap that most people with black-and-white worldviews fall into。 He does tons of shit that is awful！ I'm not talking about killing people; I'm talking about beating the shit out of Americans in bars when he's on leave， getting arrested a few times for fighting/assault， a lot of issues with alcohol。 He'll talk over and over about respect and then tell a guffawing story of getting wasted with a bunch of other Marines， getting into a bar brawl， and beating a guy half to death until the police arrive because someone looked at someone else's woman。 Remind me again who is savage and who is uncivilized？At the end of the book， I was shocked to discover that the narrator was not Chris Kyle: "Thank you for listening to this audiobook。 I am [some guy who isn't Chris Kyle]。" They got someone who sounded just like I imagined him to sound。 But， oh my god， did Chris Kyle's wife's parts drown in the story。 The narrator didn't attempt to sound different and the structure of the book does not make it clear when she is speaking。 Just， all of a sudden you'll notice a shift in perspective。 By the time you realize his wife is interjecting her perspective on something， her paragraph is over and it's back to Chris。 Why didn't they get a woman to read her parts， or at least make the narrator sound at all different！？ Bad decision！ But， I did learn by Chris Kyle didn't read it， and that's a terrible story。 Anyway， upon completion， this is essentially a book of war vignettes。 Listen in small chunks。 The stories are really interesting， even if they are simply told。 。。。more

American Sniper was easy and fun to read。 I was not bothered by the “military style”of the prose: always on point， sometimes fragmented and without too much fluff。 I would recommend it to anyone interested in war。 Chris Kyle's character is another matter completely， but I'm not in any position to judge and I couldn't say it was a bad read just because I do not agree with his worldview。 Some of his statements and behaviors are morally dubious at best （his pleasure to kill， everyone who's not an A American Sniper was easy and fun to read。 I was not bothered by the “military style”of the prose: always on point， sometimes fragmented and without too much fluff。 I would recommend it to anyone interested in war。 Chris Kyle's character is another matter completely， but I'm not in any position to judge and I couldn't say it was a bad read just because I do not agree with his worldview。 Some of his statements and behaviors are morally dubious at best （his pleasure to kill， everyone who's not an American is a bad guy， Iraqis are savages etc）。 He has plainly been accused of being a serial killer and also lying about some of his accomplishments。 I don't know if he was a serial killer or a liar， but he was a very efficient killer and had an interesting life。 I also know that despite his darker side， he was also a hero， he saved lives risking his own life， which is more that most people can say。 Rules of war are different， judgements regarding morality are tougher to make in an environment where doubting yourself or your reasons might get you/ your teammates killed。 Some studies done on psychopath show that there is very little difference between a good guy and a bad guy except the willingness to serve different purposes。 Or in col Jessup's words from the movie A few good men: "Son， we live in a world that has walls， and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns。 Who's gonna do it？"。 I'd rather have Chris on my side in a tough situation any day。 。。。more
