Thumbs up "American Sniper" Chris Kyle with Jim DeFelice and Scott McEwen.

In the Crosshairs - The New Yorker

I have been reading this book after seeing the movie American Sniper. The movie was good IMHO, but the book is great so far.

Thanks very much and I'll get the book. I guess you could call me a fanatic on the Navy SEALS. In the past 2 years I've read 14 books which include 2 on Delta Force, 1 on the Rangers and the rest on the SEALS.

In the book, Kyle mentions working with this Special Operations Polish Group in Iraq.

Also read "The Red Circle" by Brandon Webb. He completely changed how snipers were trained to make them even better.
