“Al-Shaitan” “The American Sniper” by Chris Kyle is an account of 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). Iraqi insurgents feared Kyle so much they named him al-Shaitan (“the devil”) and placed

Civil war‚ ireland 1922-1923. A brother kills a brother. People literally being shot on the street. The sniper shows us the side of war and civil war that many do not see.

assumed maybe the sniper himself would ended up dead and every line I waited for that shot for the other side to kill him. I think this story was very well written since it didn’t give away what would happen while still including some foreshadowing that you wouldn’t really see until you reread it.
