　　Book De*ion

　　The bestselling author of Into the Wild, Into Thin Air, and Under

the Banner of Heaven delivers a stunning, eloquent account of a

remarkable young man’s haunting journey.

　　Like the men whose epic stories Jon Krakauer has told in his

previous bestsellers, Pat Tillman was an irrepressible

individualist and iconoclast. In May 2002, Tillman walked away from

his $3.6 million NFL contract to enlist in the United States Army.

He was deeply troubled by 9/11, and he felt a strong moral

obligation to join the fight against al-Qaeda and the Taliban. Two

years later, he died on a desolate hillside in southeastern

Afghanistan.

　　Though obvious to most of the two dozen soldiers on the scene

that a ranger in Tillman’s own platoon had fired the fatal shots,

the Army aggressively maneuvered to keep this information from

Tillman’s wife, other family members, and the American public for

five weeks following his death. During this time, President Bush

repeatedly invoked Tillman’s name to promote his administration’s

foreign policy. Long after Tillman’s nationally televised memorial

service, the Army grudgingly notified his closest relatives that he

had “probably” been killed by friendly fire while it continued to

dissemble about the details of his death and who was

responsible.

　　In Where Men Win Glory, Jon Krakauer draws on Tillman’s journals

and letters, interviews with his wife and friends, conversations

with the soldiers who served alongside him, and extensive research

on the ground in Afghanistan to render an intricate mosaic of this

driven, complex, and uncommonly compelling figure as well as the

definitive account of the events and actions that led to his death.

Before he enlisted in the army, Tillman was familiar to sports

aficionados as an undersized, overachieving Arizona Cardinals

safety whose virtuosity in the defensive backfield was

spellbinding. With his shoulder-length hair, outspoken views, and

boundless intellectual curiosity, Tillman was considered a

maverick. America was fascinated when he traded the bright lights

and riches of the NFL for boot camp and a buzz cut. Sent first to

Iraq—a war he would openly declare was “illegal as hell” —and

eventually to Afghanistan, Tillman was driven by complicated,

emotionally charged, sometimes contradictory notions of duty,

honor, justice, patriotism, and masculine pride, and he was

determined to serve his entire three-year commitment. But on April

22, 2004, his life would end in a barrage of bullets fired by his

fellow soldiers.

　　Krakauer chronicles Tillman’s riveting, tragic odyssey in

engrossing detail highlighting his remarkable character and

personality while closely examining the murky, heartbreaking

circumstances of his death. Infused with the power and authenticity

readers have come to expect from Krakauer’s storytelling, Where Men

Win Glory exposes shattering truths about men and war.
