American Sniper Killer Eddie Routh: Life and Trial of the Man who Killed the Most Lethal American Sniper Chris Kyle (American Military History Book 2)

In this confronting book, author M.L. Ross chronicles the shocking inside story of Eddie Routh, the Marine veteran and PTSD sufferer charged with the capital murder of American Sniper Chris Kyle and his friend, Chad Littlefield, at the Rough Creek Lodge shooting range in rural Texas in 2013.

Chris Kyle became a New York Times bestselling author with the publication of his book, American Sniper, chronicling his four tour of duties as a sniper in Iraq. After his return to the U.S., Kyle volunteered his time helping other veterans adjust to life away from the battlefield. It is at this point that the lives of Routh and Kyle cross.

In detailed research, M.L. Ross brings to light all the pertinent facts about Eddie Routh’s life, his battles with alcohol and drugs, and his attempts to obtain treatment with the Dallas V.A. What becomes clear is his spiralling descent into schizophrenia and bipolar disorder that, unfortunately, was left untreated by those with the greatest power to help.

American Sniper Killer is the tragic story of an ex-Marine who slipped through the cracks, and succumbed to the delusions in his head. In the end he murdered two individuals, one of whom was a national hero.
