3rd and final book for summer term
For my third book of non fiction that I enjoy I chose American Snipe, an autobiography of Chris Kyle. The most lethal sniper in U.S. military history. I always enjoy reading books about military because it is something that I was fortunate to experience. Chris Kyle had more then 160 confirmed kills in the Iraq war from 2003 to 2009. Kyle was fortunate enough to become apart of the elite navy seals during his time in the military. The book mainly went over his life before joining the military and of course his training that earned him his title as a navy seal. It also explains how he was the most lethal sniper in the U.S. Military. One thing that I think is really funny was the part that he talks about knocking out a guy in a bar that was saying that it is ok if some troops die in Iraq, and then on the news is the Jesse Ventura guy suing the estate of Kyle's wife for false accusations of him hitting Ventura. I think it is just crazy that he went to the great lengths of suing the guys wife to clear his name. I really enjoyed this book, I was thinking about reading Lone survivor again but I read that a couple of years ago so decided to finally read this book and I was not disappointed at all.
