Jim DeFelice Ordre des livres

Craig Morgan’s memoir is a powerful and moving account of his life, co-written with Jim DeFelice, author of the bestselling American Sniper. A country music icon, army veteran, father, and outdoorsman, Morgan reveals stories even his most dedicated fans may not know. In 1989, as U.S. news outlets announced the end of Operation Just Cause, he was part of an elite team conducting a covert operation in Panama. Beyond his musical achievements, Morgan has served as a soldier working with the CIA, fought against sex trafficking in Thailand, and embodies the values he sings about. His journey began at age ten, performing on stage with his father's band, but he first trained as a paratrooper. After earning numerous military distinctions, he left active duty to pursue a music career, supported by his wife and part-time jobs during challenging times. His breakthrough came with the heartfelt ballad "Almost Home," followed by hits like "Redneck Yacht Club" and the poignant "The Father, My Son, and the Holy Ghost," a tribute to his late son Jerry that has touched millions. Throughout his life and career, Morgan's commitment to duty and family remains unwavering, inspiring others with his dedication to God, family, and country.

The #1 New York Times bestselling memoir of U.S. Navy Seal Chris Kyle, and the source for Clint Eastwood’s blockbuster movie which was nominated for six academy awards, including best picture. From 1999 to 2009, U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle recorded the most career sniper kills in United States military history. His fellow American warriors, whom he protected with deadly precision from rooftops and stealth positions during the Iraq War, called him “The Legend”; meanwhile, the enemy feared him so much they named him al-Shaitan (“the devil”) and placed a bounty on his head. 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.
