About this product

Product Information

To the enemies he hunted he was al-Shaitan--"the devil." To his Navy SEAL brothers, he was "the legend." From 1999 to 2009, U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle was the deadliest American sniper in United States military history, recording the most confirmed sniper kills (officially a record 155, though the real number is even much higher) in the history of the United States military,. In February 2013, he was tragically killed while trying to help a fellow former soldier afflicted with PTSD. Containing more than fifty pages of new material, this expanded Memorial Edition of his extraordinary #1 New York Times bestseller--one of the greatest war memoirs of all time--salutes his achievements and commemorates his enduring legacy. An adrenaline-charged, deeply personal account of his extraordinary battlefield experiences, American Sniper is a thrilling eyewitness account that only one man could tell.

Insightful for Civilians Who Don't Understand
I found this book to be very grounded and authentic. Chris Kyle takes us somewhere none of want to go-but somebody has to do it. Introspective to the dynamics of life and death teamwork and absolute trust. I wish more people could read this and see the kind of people who protect us regardless of the politics and hyperbole that is fed to the people of this country. Absolute best- Semper Fidelis

Awesome Book I read it for hours, action packed, makes a great gift, definitely a must have for your Library Collection
I really enjoyed reading this book definitely one of my top favorites to add to my library collection. It's a beautiful tribute to Chris Kyle as it contains his book American Sniper and has a memorial section with pictures and personal stories from his family, neighbors & friends to give the reader more depth as to how people perceived and knew Chris personally. I'm going to be honest I did cry a few times while reading this book. This book mentions the 4 Tours of Iraq Chris served. The struggles and sacrifices he made. What is was like to be there in Iraq, how the day was like, the surroundings, what happened day and night. Those people that met him or knew him are truly blessed to meet a wonderful humble & genuine person with a heart of gold. No matter how many hours it took at his book signings he made sure every single person attending got an autograph, picture & handshake... And also the compassionate random acts of kindness he did in his neighborhood.Read full review

Great Read!
This is a very well written and details of a great American SEAL. It is easy to read and gets into the details of a great American military hero. It also sheds light on some of the relationships of the USA and situation with us in the Middle East, especially Iraq. This book came to me in great condition.

The Best of the Best
Despite Jesse Ventura’s attacks, this is an amazing book for those who want to see through the eyes of a SEAL, a Sniper, one of our Veterans, all of whom deserve respect. This edition has more to it than the original. It came in perfect condition and I was shocked. The seller who sold it is 10*/5*. He did a great job, sold it very cheap. I recommend this to anyone.

Excellent Read
As a former 8 year veteran I can say, this one tells it like it really was for him and family . He was totally focused and dedicated to his profession, and unlike many was honest about enjoying it (the challenge and protecting the other warriors) while it was going down . Often men are apologetic about doing the job in war but not him and that is so refreshing . If you want to read about a truly dedicated Professional Warrior read this one . Glad such people still serve .
