Where Men Win Glory

Where Men Win Glory is a profoundly eloquent and affecting account of heroism - the story of Pat Tillman, a millionaire sports star who, after the terrorist attacks of 9/11, gave up his carrer to fight for his country with the US Army in Afghanistan, only to be killed - apparently in the line of fire - on a desolate hillside near the Pakistan border. News of Tillman's death shocked America. But even as the public mourned his loss, the US Army aggressively manoeuvered to conceal the truth: that it was a ranger in Tillman's own platoon who had fired the fatal shots. Jon Krakauer reveals how an entire country was deliberately deceived by those at the very highest levels of the military and government. Infused with the power and authenticity readers have come to expert from Krakauer's storytelling.
