The Companion Story to American Sniper

The Companion Story to American Sniper

The movie version of “American Sniper” was adapted from Kyle’s New York Times #1 bestselling book, which was dedicated to Kyle’s NAVY Seal teammate and close friend Ryan “Biggles” Job (pronounced Jobe), a central character in both the book and film.

The real life Ryan Job lived, and tragically died, in Scottsdale Arizona.

 Chris Kyle and Ryan Job were SEAL teammate on SEAL Team 3. The two were on a rooftop in Ramadi, Iraq when Job was shot in the face and gravely wounded by an enemy sniper. Job miraculously survived but was rendered permanently blind in the incident, captured in one of the movie’s most harrowing sequences.

Robert Vera is author of A Warrior's Faith: Navy SEAL Ryan Job, a Life-Changing Firefight, and the Belief That Transformed His Life.
