His patriotism, interest in military history, and experience with long-range hunting rifles, compelled him to accurately record the battlefield heroics of Chris Kyle, the most lethal sniper in U.S. military history. Written with Kyle and Jim DeFelice, "American Sniper" became #1 New York Times best seller. In this speaking engagement, McEwen will share his perspective on the experiences that brought the book to life. He is donating his time and a percentage of the proceeds from the event will go to the Wounded Warrior Project.Videos
