Chris Kyle—fallen hero and #1 bestselling author of American Sniper—reveals how ten legendary guns forever changed U.S. history.
At the time of his tragic death in February 2013, former Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, the top sniper in U.S. military history, was finishing one of the most exciting missions of his life: a remarkable book that retold American history through the lens of a hand-selected list of firearms. Kyle masterfully shows how guns have played a fascinating, indispensable, and often underappreciated role in our national story.
"Perhaps more than any other nation in the world," Kyle writes, "the history of the United States has been shaped by the gun. Firearms secured the first Europeans' hold on the continent, opened the frontier, helped win our independence, settled the West, kept law and order, and defeated tyranny across the world."
Drawing on his unmatched firearms knowledge and combat experience, Kyle carefully chose ten guns to help tell his story: the American long rifle, Spencer repeater, Colt .45 revolver, Winchester rifle, Springfield 1903 rifle, Thompson sub-machine gun, 1911 pistol, M1 Garand, .38 Special police revolver, and the M-16 rifle platform Kyle himself used as a SEAL. Through them, he revisits thrilling turning points in American history, including the single sniper shot that turned the tide of the Revolutionary War, the firearms designs that proved decisive at Gettysburg, the "gun that won the West," and the weapons that gave U.S. soldiers an edge in the world wars and beyond. This is also the story of how firearms innovation, creativity, and industrial genius has constantly pushed American history—and power—forward.
Filled with an unforgettable cast of characters, Chris Kyle's American Gun is a sweeping epic of bravery, adventure, invention, and sacrifice.

I hope that you say that in front of a team buddy of his....hope there is a video of it too.
The only person who is a piece of shit is you..internet tough guy trolls...
I never claimed to be tough. I simply abhor lying pieces of shit that murdered innocent people that think they're somehow heroic for being psychotic.
If you're not aware, he lost a $1.8 MILLION lawsuit for lying. He was a propaganda artist and when his usefulness was over, his handlers offed him.
You sir must be one obama,'s useful idiots.
Please enlighten us... Where did he kill all of those "innocent people"?
Typical useful idiot. Regurgitating the party line without doing any independent research! Do not waste my time on here fool. I challenged you to find evideve to back up your claim that he killed innocent people and you give me a link to google. How lazy is that?
An epic FAIL!
As for lies.. Let's have folks studying your life! Wonder what they would find!
Bottom line I do not give a rat's ass what you believe. You are clearly nothing but a Kool aid drinker.

The title of the deal says $4.99, but the actual price is $2.99. And I'm posting this only 2hrs after the OP posted it, not days later...
Chris Kyle was a lying piece of shit. I'd piss on his grave if I knew where it was.
