Where Men Win Glory: The Odyssey of Pat Tillman by Jon Krakauer

5.0

I'm interested to go see the new documentary about Pat Tillman after finishing this book, but am afraid I will cry through the whole movie. Pat Tillman was such an unusual, inquisitive, forthright man, an unlikely soldier, but one you'd feel supremely proud of. The excerpts from Tillman's diary drive home the point that America as a nation lost a true and thoughtful leader. The cover-up of the true nature of his death is not terribly shocking if you have read any kind of analysis of the Bush administration, but only because that bar keeps getting pushed higher.
The Pat Tillman Foundation provides educational scholarships to fill the financial void left by our government to veterans and their families. It brings true meaning to the phrase "Support Our Troops." I urge you to donate after reading this book.
