American Wife is a beautiful read. Written by Taya Kyle following the tragic death of her husband Chris “Legend” Kyle. From the beginning when the two met, to the strains that the Iraq war put on their marriage, the heartaches, the war caused them, to the life the Kyles had together after Chris left the Navy. The story tells of the struggles Chris faced as he transitions from being a war hardened Navy SEAL sniper, to being a civilian and learning how to be a full time husband and father with ambitions to still make a difference in the world he lived in. The story tells of Chris’ newfound celebrity status, and how he was able to stay humble and down to earth, and continued to help wounded veterans who were transitioning to their new lives. It was this drive to help his military brothers that led to the murder of Chad Littlefield and Chris Kyle on February 2nd. When an unstable marine vet murdered them while they were trying to help him with his transition. In the wake of this tragedy, Taya faces the task of finishing the book American Gun that Chris was almost finished with, battling Jesse Ventura in a lawsuit where he claimed Chris Kyle profited from his name, battling Chris’ business partners in Craft International, all while learning to pick herself back up and carry on for her children and her. In all this she found the courage to carry on Chris’ legacy through the Chris Kyle Frog Foundation. I read this entire book in one setting in one day. I cried for three straight chapters as I read about the death of a true American hero and I could feel the pain his family and friends experience in the way Taya wrote their story. Read full review

as a fellow veteran its hard to sit back and wonder on the What If's. this book is the heart and soul of what we deal with on a daily bases. people often forget that there are others that are affected by the out come of war and heart ack. I still have a hard time watching the movie followed by the book that Taya Kyle wrote and put together to open up the eyes of those don't understand what its like to lose a love one.
Enjoyed reading this, it is a good book! Being a vet I can somewhat associate with the. Can't believe, but unfortunately do, the way people tried and did screw Taya over following his death. Anyone who enjoyed "American Sniper" would probably enjoy this book.
