This Month's Digital Library News
March 2016
Overdrive's Big Library Read--American Sniper
No holds, no waiting until March 31!

American Sniper

From 1999 to 2009, U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle recorded the most career sniper kills in United States military history. Kyle, who was tragically killed in 2013, writes honestly about the pain of war—including the deaths of two close SEAL teammates—and in moving first-person passages throughout, his wife, Taya, speaks openly about the strains of war on their family, as well as on Chris. Gripping and unforgettable, Kyle’s masterful account of his extraordinary battlefield experiences ranks as one of the great war memoirs of all time.

Check out and download the free audiobook and ebook! No holds, no waiting until March 31!

Already read it? No problem! Check out these similar titles!

Need a book discussion guide for your book group? We've got that too!

Want to know more? Listen to Overdrive's Professional Book Nerds podcast interview with Taya Kyle, widow of American Sniper author Chris Kyle. During their conversation, Taya discussed why Chris wrote the book, their emotional life while Chris was serving in the military and dealing with his transition as he came back from service.
