Where Men Win Glory: The Odyssey of Pat Tillman

Where Men Win Glory by Jon Krakauer, a national bestseller, tells the gripping true story of Pat Tillman, the NFL star who gave up a multimillion-dollar career to join the U.S. Army after 9/11.

Driven by ideals of duty, honor, and justice, Tillman served in Iraq and Afghanistan—openly questioning the wars themselves—until his tragic death by friendly fire in 2004. Krakauer exposes how the Army and government covered up the truth, using Tillman’s image for propaganda before reluctantly admitting the real circumstances.

Drawing on Tillman’s journals, letters, and extensive interviews, Krakauer delivers a powerful and deeply human portrait of a complex man and a devastating look at the cost of war and deception.
