Scott McEwen is een procesadvocaat wiens achtergrond in de ruige bergen van Oost-Oregon, in combinatie met zijn uitgebreide ervaring in Londen, zijn schrijven informeert. Zijn diepgeworteld patriottisme en intieme kennis van de militaire geschiedenis, met name uit zijn werk ter ondersteuning van liefdadigheidsinstellingen, hebben hem ertoe aangezet om de ervaringen van degenen die dienden uit de eerste hand vast te leggen. McEwens werk wordt gedreven door een verlangen om de diepgaande ervaringen van soldaten nauwkeurig vast te leggen, wat zijn unieke perspectief als een fervent natuurliefhebber en een toegewijde pleitbezorger voor militair personeel weerspiegelt.

NOW A BLOCKBUSTER MOTION PICTURE DIRECTED BY CLINT EASTWOOD—NOMINATED FOR SIX ACADEMY AWARDS, INCLUDING BEST PICTURE He is the deadliest American sniper ever, called "the devil" by the enemies he hunted and "the legend" by his Navy SEAL brothers . . . From 1999 to 2009, U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle recorded the most career sniper kills in United States military history. The Pentagon has officially confirmed more than 150 of Kyle's kills (the previous American record was 109), but it has declined to verify the astonishing total number for this book. Iraqi insurgents feared him so much they placed a bounty on his head. Kyle earned legendary status among his fellow U.S. warriors, whom he protected with deadly accuracy from rooftops and stealth positions. Gripping and unforgettable, Kyle's masterful account of his extraordinary battlefield experiences ranks as one of the great war memoirs of all time.
New York Times bestselling author, Richard Miniter, joins forces with #1 New York Times bestselling co-author of American Sniper, Scott McEwen, to write the provocative true history of the most controversial and top-secret unit in the American Armed Forces, the Navy SEALs.
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.
