A true story about the life of Chris and Taya Kyle, their love, struggles, the tragedy of his death, and her life in the aftermath

American Wife is a beautiful read. Written by Taya Kyle following the tragic death of her husband Chris “Legend” Kyle. From the beginning when the two met, to the strains that the Iraq war put on their marriage, the heartaches, the war caused them, to the life the Kyles had together after Chris left the Navy. The story tells of the struggles Chris faced as he transitions from being a war hardened Navy SEAL sniper, to being a civilian and learning how to be a full time husband and father with ambitions to still make a difference in the world he lived in. The story tells of Chris’ newfound celebrity status, and how he was able to stay humble and down to earth, and continued to help wounded veterans who were transitioning to their new lives. It was this drive to help his military brothers that led to the murder of Chad Littlefield and Chris Kyle on February 2nd. When an unstable marine vet murdered them while they were trying to help him with his transition. In the wake of this tragedy, Taya faces the task of finishing the book American Gun that Chris was almost finished with, battling Jesse Ventura in a lawsuit where he claimed Chris Kyle profited from his name, battling Chris’ business partners in Craft International, all while learning to pick herself back up and carry on for her children and her. In all this she found the courage to carry on Chris’ legacy through the Chris Kyle Frog Foundation.

I read this entire book in one setting in one day. I cried for three straight chapters as I read about the death of a true American hero and I could feel the pain his family and friends experience in the way Taya wrote their story.

One of the best memoirs...

Conmovedora narración sobre la historia del matrimonio de Chris Kyle y Taya. Chris Kyle, conocido como La Leyenda por su certero alcance como Snyper, U.S. Navy Seal y reconocido como el mejor, sobresaliente sniper en la historia militar de Estados Unidos, su entrega y fidelidad hacia sus compañeros de batalla y su amor patriótico. Esta es una historia sobre amor como hombre de familia, sobre sacrificios y tristemente, sobre la absurda y trágica muerte de quien honró su patria y su familia. Absorbente historia real.Read full review
