Publisher Comments:

This edition has been updated to reflect new developments and includes new material obtained through the Freedom of Information Act.

Pat Tillman walked away from a multimillion-dollar NFL contract to join the Army and became an icon of post-9/11 patriotism. When he was killed in Afghanistan two years later, a legend was born. But the real Pat Tillman was much more remarkable, and considerably more complicated than the public knew...

A stunning account of a remarkable young man's heroic life and death, from the bestselling author of Into the Wild, Into Thin Air, and Under the Banner of Heaven.

About the Author

Krakauer is a master. His writing is beautiful, his prose intriguing and pulls you in. Tillman's story is told with sensitivity, depth and honesty, as a true American hero deserves. Krakauer not only reveals the truth behind the cover up of Tillman's death, but also touches in on the beauty of his life. Tillman is portrayed as a real person, flaws and all, which makes this book all the more touching.

Please keep writing Jon Krakauer and I promise to keep reading.
