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. Review: Great read for both military and civilians - American Sniper, The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History was written by the late Navy Seal Chris Kyle. Because of my military background I found the book extremely interesting but I also believe it would be enjoyed by civilians having never served. Chris was an ordinary guy. He grew up of a middle class, Christian family in Texas. He went to high school, tried college and did some time as a real cowboy working on a ranch. He went on to join the military and become a Seal, a feat in itself considering that only 10% of the sailors who enter the rigorous training program go on to complete it. He continued on to be one of the best Seal snipers in history. Writing was not one of Chris's fortes though. His book is written in plain language and can be rough at times. I found that down to earth, every day, brutally honest, not sugar coated approach very appealing. Others, who are looking for a great literary piece may not. American Sniper is not all blood and guts, as many war stories are. It is heartfelt. It has some graphic details but it also shows emotion, good and bad. Chris talks of his loves; God, Country and Family, even telling of the trouble he sometimes had with the order of Country and Family. It includes sections written by Chris's wife Taya that show the emotion the military family waiting at home experiences. My wife read the book and loved it. Having been a military spouse for many years and very politically involved she had heard Chris's story on the news, bought and read his book and recommended it to me. She could relate to many of the stories, having heard me tell similar ones. I served as a Seabee, performing some of the tasks for the Seals that Chris discusses. Our paths may have crossed somewhere in Kuwait or Iraq but I didn't know him personally. However, reading his story made me feel like I did. It is rare for someone with his experiences to relay them to others, especially the world in a book and especially to do it so well. After a short introduction, the book chronicles Chris's life. It starts with his childhood in Texas, goes through his teenage years and on to college. He writes very candidly about the things he did and mistakes he made. He appears to have had a bit of a wild streak, getting into an occasional fight, riding bulls and then broncos in the rodeo before getting hurt, eventually giving up college to become a cowboy then joining the military. He tells of wanting to be in the action, not in a military job on sidelines. He details boot camp and then on to BUDS (Seal training). Chris is extremely patriotic and truly believed in his mission of defending our country. He takes the reader through each deployment, including the enemy, kills he made, his comrades, injuries he and others received, working with the Marines, the Seabees, the Polish Grom (special forces) and even the heartbreak of loosing friends to the war. Toward the end of the story he tells of the difficult decision he faced in leaving his career and his brothers in arms for his beloved family. Chris's story has action, emotion, patriotism, sacrifice and most of all the sense of a very humble man doing a job most could never even imagine. From where I served, supporting missions of men like Chris, I may have a little better understanding of the things he's done and experienced, but his story, told not in a format for military but for civilians truly gives the reader insight into the heart of warriors like Chris and many who serve our country. With chapter titles like; "The Devil of Ramadi", "Man Down", "The Punisher", "Family Conflicts", "Down in the Shit", "Dealing Death", "Mortality" and "Home and Out", it is evident that this is much more than a war story. I highly recommend it for everyone. It educates readers on what our military members do for our country and I hope gives them a greater appreciation for their sacrifice. Review: Amazing Sniper ... Even Better Man - The book reads like a military thriller. There are times in his narration that you forget this is true. The segments and stories are ones that draw you in to the ugly side of war. It is reality. I served in Iraq myself and many of the battles that Chris describes in the book are ones that I was familiar with. Although I never saw nearly the action that he did, I knew of those battles. He describes the hell that is war. He describes the insurgents, or savages as he calls them, and what they would do. He describes the firefights and the battles in such detail. His recollection of these incidents as he takes you through them lets you see inside the life of a silent professional, the life of a SEAL. Although it might not be the most eloquent prose you can find in a book, he is a Navy SEAL not a professional writer. I have read some of the comments online and many make it seem as though he is an arrogant man just wanting everyone to know how good he is. These people have obviously not read the book. He points out in the book that his main reason for writing it was because other people were planning on writing about his story and he wanted to make sure that the proper people got credit. He constantly talks through the pages about how he is not the most skilled sniper, but he is lucky and was surrounded by great people. Through his narration you get to see the teamwork that occurred to accomplish the numbers he did, and the pure luck at times. He constantly praises the soldiers and Marines that he was with. You get the sense of a humble man, one reluctant to tell the story but does so in order to honor those who surrounded him. The hardest parts to read were the loss of his friends. He tells the story of Marc Lee, a story I know through his mother Debbie's activism after his death. He also tells the story about how Ryan Job was wounded. You could tell the sadness in the words on the page. It is powerful. Having a husband that was wounded in Iraq it opened my eyes to what others feel when someone is wounded in front of them. Chris's dedication to those he served with is nearly palpable as he speaks of them. The most intriguing were the words of his wife, Taya. She writes about what she felt and experienced as his wife and the mother of their children. Many of the emotions she felt were ones that I felt when my husband was deployed. Although her situation was much more intense than mine would ever be, I could sympathize with her words. She provided the real insight to the man and not just the sniper. A part that touched me is when Chris spoke towards the end of the book about giving back. He discusses the retreats that he has helped with for Marcus Luttrell's charity the Lone Survivor Foundation (LSF). My husband, daughter and I were fortunate enough to be on one of these retreats that he described at Barefoot Ranch. It was an amazing experience. Chris is a great man and this is a great book. ## Features - autobiography of the most lethal sniper in u s american history ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #68,970 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2 in Iraq War Biographies #6 in Iraq War History (Books) #259 in Memoirs (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 42,958 Reviews | ## Images ![American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/819fmDHvcLL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great read for both military and civilians *by S***1 on June 17, 2013* American Sniper, The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History was written by the late Navy Seal Chris Kyle.

Interwoven into the story of Kyle's deployments overseas and his brief times back at home are short sections supplied by Taya Kyle documenting her feelings and her side of the story. The combination serves to provide a poignant contrast between the brutalities faced by warriors in battle and the worry and emotions ripping through their families at home. I get the feeling that Chris Kyle is a man of few words because his descriptions of events and memories tend to be on the spare side. But the author's (Jim DeFelice) ability to capture the tone and meaning of Kyle's stories is excellent. You can pick up the cadence and rhythm of Kyle's speech with the one-liners leaving you chuckling. With a few haunting exceptions, there is almost always a comical or humorous side aspect to Kyle's stories. For those who want to pick up a lot of detail about being a SEAL or a sniper, you're not going to get much. There are some nuggets in the stories that you can probably only mine if you have some knowledge of combat and shooting. For example, you won't find a reference to a Mil-Dot anywhere. But, Kyle talks about using a tree behind some insurgents to help him on an extremely long-distance shot. Shooters will know what he is talking about. Others probably won't get the significance of the tree. (His longest shot, by the way, was 2,100 yards taken to kill a bad guy getting ready to launch a rocket at an Army convoy). He fairly brushes over his experiences during BUD/S and Hell Week, telling the reader that the process is well documented in other sources. There is a bit of treasure on p. 126 (Geared Up) where he does give some good descriptions of his gear and the reasoning behind his likes and dislikes on each piece. Likes? .45 over the 9mm; belt holster over the drop-leg holster. Depending on the mission he would carry an M-4, a Mk-11, a .300 Win Mag and, later, a .338 Lapua (which he used to the make 2,100 yard shot). I found the book extremely fast-paced and I found the addition of Taya's sections valuable in making this a very memorable account of their lives. I easily read it in a few sessions. God bless Texas if the Lone Star State keeps producing heroes like Chris Kyle (and his buddy Marcus Luttrell). He doesn't mince words and calls the situation like he sees it. His experience gives him some very simple, yet insightful, answers to situations that seem to perplex politicians. He is a bad-ass and he hands out copious amounts of kudos for others who are bad-asses. Not surprisingly, he has few nice things to say about cowards and those unwilling to commit. Great book. Entertaining and worth the read. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/60933278-american-sniper-the-autobiography-of-the-most-lethal-sniper-in](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/60933278-american-sniper-the-autobiography-of-the-most-lethal-sniper-in) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
