Synthesis- Controversial topic A topic that came up Chris Kyle 's book often was the engagement of the insurgents. When engaging the insurgents they 're are certain parameters you need to follow before you can shoot them. They are called the rules of engagement.

For those who don’t they will learn massive amounts about the military, and have a deeper appreciation for those who serve.

I wish her part was more limited to the very most important parts, not every chapter. That would improve the flow of the book I believe. Additionally I think the publisher should add something about the rest of his life at the end. There isn’t much to cover, because of his sudden death. A memorial or summery of his life would be nice to read. All and all American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History is a great book that gives awesome testimony of one of Americas
