Titres dans Armée et guerre

Für David Goggins war die Kindheit ein Albtraum - Armut, Vorurteile und körperliche Misshandlung verfolgten ihn bis in seine Träume. Doch durch Selbstdisziplin, mentale Stärke und harte Arbeit verwandelte er sich vom depressiven, übergewichtigen Jugendlichen ohne Perspektive in eine Ikone der U.S. Army und einen der Top-Ausdauersportler der Welt. Er ist der Einzige, der je das Elitetraining sowohl zum Navy SEAL als auch U.S. Army Ranger und Air Force Tactical Air Controller bestand, außerdem stellte er zahlreiche Ausdauerrekorde auf.

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 Kyles kills (the previous American record was 109), but it has declined to verify the astonishing total number for this book. Iraqi insurgents feared Kyle so much they named him al-Shaitan (“the devil”) and placed a bounty on his head. Kyle earned legendary status among his fellow SEALs, Marines, and U.S. Army soldiers, whom he protected with deadly accuracy from rooftops and stealth positions.
