I'm reviving this post in hopes of stimulating the purchase of 2 books: American Sniper, written by Chris Kyle with Jim DeFelice tells Chris Kyles story as the most successful US sniper. All proceeds from the book go to charities that support wounded veterans.
The second book is American Gun: A History of the US in Ten Firearms. This book, recently released, was completed by his wife and co-author William Doyle after his death.
While American Sniper has language that is probably not appropriate for the young or sensitive, (but is very typical of my experience around military men), American Gun is a GREAT read for all. Its fast, and the guns covered are excellent choices. These proceeds will help support his wife and children. After reading it, I consider it one of the books that are "must haves" for any gunnie library.
Enjoy!

You seek escape from pain. We seek the achievement of happiness. You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment. We exist for the sake of earning rewards. Threats will not make us function; fear is not our incentive. It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live. - John Galt
