This book gave a lot of interesting perspective to the military, the war in Iraq, on the elite teams doing spec ops. What stood out a lot to me is the way most of those guys see everything as either black or white, with no possibility for a gray area. I understand why they make that distinction, at ...

2.5 stars rounded up to three, because parts of this story broke my heartWow, this was so not what I expected. This is gonna be a long review, and a very personal one at that. Let me elaborate on my disappointment. When the movie with Bradley Cooper came out, my man was positively stoked. Ex-German ...

Wow! This book is shocking! Even though I'm not in total agreement with Chris Kyle, seeing it from his point of view is very interesting. This is a great story because it makes the reader think and feel about subjects we often ignore. I'm kind of speechless. I am just a bunch of mixed emotions ...

Given that there's a ridiculous amount of controversy surrounding this book and the associated movie, I am going to do my best to phrase this review in a way that makes my intended meaning as clear as possible. That said, I am going to open this review with a qualifier: If you do not approve of the ...

Done - made it maybe half and I'm done. Poorly written and Kyle isn't at all who I had hoped or thought he was. Not a fan and I don't recommend it - I'll leave it at that.

Fascinating subject matter, treated honestly and openly. A fascinating and for reasons I cannot grasp, polarizing man to many. My honest impression is that those unfamiliar with the mental and emotional tolls of conflict may be unable to understand a man like Kyle. This isn't to forgive any man his ...

Disturbing in every aspect, I found myself horrified that ours is a world that so greatly needs the talents, and expertise of men and women like Chris Kyle. At the same time I gained a new appreciation for how fortunate we are to have men and women like Chris Kyle serving as protectors of our freedo...
