Synopsis "American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History"

The #1 New York Times bestselling memoir of U.S. Navy Seal Chris Kyle, and the source for Clint Eastwood's blockbuster movie which was nominated for six academy awards, including best 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.--MARCUS LUTTRELL, author of Lone Survivor

Christopher Scott Kyle, conocido públicamente como Chris Kyle, fue un francotirador de la Marina de los Estados Unidos y posteriormente autor. Sirvió como Navy SEAL durante la guerra de Irak, donde se convirtió en una figura polémica y altamente visible por el número de misiones en las que participó y por el debate que su historia abrió sobre la guerra moderna, la violencia y sus consecuencias psicológicas. Tras dejar el servicio activo, se dedicó a trabajar con veteranos y a relatar su experiencia desde una perspectiva personal, directa y sin adornos.

Su libro Francotirador (American Sniper) es una autobiografía en la que narra su vida militar, el entrenamiento extremo y el impacto del combate tanto en el frente como en el regreso a casa. El texto evita la épica literaria y apuesta por un tono crudo, a ratos incómodo, que explica en parte su enorme repercusión pública y las controversias que lo rodearon.
