书籍简介

前美国海豹突击队队员克里斯-凯尔（Chris Kyle）讲述了他从 1999 年到 2009 年的传奇职业生涯，在此期间，他创造了从 1776 年至今美军各军种历史上确认击毙狙击手人数的记录（官方记录为 155 人，但实际数字要高得多）。凯尔在伊拉克和阿富汗的服役为他赢得了七枚英勇勋章，其中包括两枚银星勋章。

《美国狙击手》以惊悚片的节奏，生动再现了凯尔酋长在巴格达行军（伊拉克战争开始）、费卢杰、拉马迪和萨德尔城等重要战役中的经历。他的头盔和背部均中弹，他亲眼目睹了两位好友的死亡。战斗部署结束后，凯尔成为海豹突击队的狙击手教官，他还撰写了一本关于如何成为一名狙击手的书：《海军特种战狙击手学说》，这是一本海豹突击队狙击手手册。

如今，他是一家国际安全和培训公司的首席执行官。《美国狙击手》讲述了一位丈夫和父亲从德克萨斯州牛仔竞技场牛仔成为美国传奇的狙击手所取得的成就。它描述了维系婚姻和家庭所面临的挑战，以及凯尔如何在四次部署后选择回到妻子和两个孩子身边。

这也是海豹突击队第三小队成员的故事，他们与凯尔如同兄弟般战斗和牺牲。"美国狙击手》以罕见的一手资料介绍了海豹突击队和战斗狙击手的精英世界，他们在战争中的 "交战规则 "只允许对训练有素、组织严密的反对派部队的核心实施精确的外科手术式打击，而反对派部队几乎没有 "交战规则"。

Former U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle tells the story of his legendary career, from 1999-2009, during which time he recorded 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, any branch, from 1776 to present. Nicknamed The Legend by his fellow SEALS, Kyle's service in Iraq and Afghanistan earned him seven medals for bravery, including two Silver Stars.

With the pacing of thriller, "American Sniper" vividly recounts Chief Kyle's experiences at key battles, including the March on Baghdad (beginning of Iraq War), Fallujah, Ramadi, and Sadr City. He was shot in both the helmet and back; he witnessed the death of his two closest friends. After his combat deployments, Kyle became the SEAL's chief sniper instructor, and he literally wrote the book on being a sniper: the Naval Special Warfare Sniper Doctrine, which is the first Navy SEAL sniper manual.

Today he is the CEO of an international security and training corporation. "American Sniper" is the story of the accomplishments of a husband and father who went from a Texas rodeo cowboy to his country's most legendary sniper. It describes the challenges of keeping a marriage and family together, and how after four deployments, Kyle ultimately chose to return to his wife and two children.

This is also the story of the men of SEAL Team 3 who fought and died as brothers with Kyle. "American Sniper" provides a rare, first-hand glimpse at the elite world of the SEALs and combat snipers who fought in a war where the "Rules of Engagement" only allowed for precise surgical strikes at the heart of a well-trained and well-organized opposition force, which had virtually no "Rules of Engagement".
