American Sniper

I agree with the previous review. The book is easy to understand written for readers who have little or no relation to the military. It shows episodes in the life of Chris, focusing of course is dedicated to the military service. Starting with his youth, choosing and entering the service of the Navy, getting to know his future wife, then it comes to the actual focus of the operations in Iraq, and to terminate the decision to active duty. Followed by a brief insight into life after the Navy.
It is an image from the perspective of Chris' drawn for showing the love of the fatherland, to the family, to work and God, without excessive patriotism or "bloodthirstiness" broadcast. The question of political correctness of the book does not arise, since they will be charged at any time on the subject. It is purely a treatise of experiences and impressions of a SEAL and his wife in common everyday, and the separations during deployments. The narrative style is generally very businesslike, though the joy is openly displayed on the service provided. However, being far from disrespectful or humiliate the enemy. The term "wild" or "rebels", as it is usually referred to in no way inappropriate. At least expressed very mild, considering that this an offensive to try to take life. With regard to the manner of warfare both Part A This is also expressed. Also, there is not a glorification of soldiering or nationalism. Of course, should a soldier like his job, just an elite soldier. He must do what others can not and find repulsive or objectionable that. Even if it is in contrast to the opponents, the "Rules of Engagement" bound and this partly perceived as stressful. The reality that he experienced during deployments leaves traces that are difficult for others to see. But being a successful soldier far from the corpses counted psychopath. The different approach of Americans and Europeans, what patriotism and Selbverständlichkeit to fight in his profession and for his country is probably the history owed goes far over the last century.
I have very happy and interested in reading the book, since it gives an insight not only in the military field. Especially the contributions Taya's about family life before and during deployments, the birth of children and the lack of the partner and father. Even to his own similar experience from assignments again to recall and process. With this knowledge, the book may perhaps read differently than it can be a "home Retarded".
I recommend it so gladly.

Regarding the quality of the book: The lines are being printed and quite readable. If the pages are not cut evenly, understanding of the written text is not affected. In addition, the book with his back to the room on the shelf. The value of the book is thus at least not diminished.

Perhaps even more remains to be said that the proceeds veterans and war invalids benefit.
