O tym produkcie
Product Information
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 .

Reviews
"Nuanced, thorough, and chilling. . . . The arc of Tillman's life . . . echoes the trajectory of a classical hero's tale. . . . It acquires an almost legendary power." - The Oregonian "The fallen man at the heart of Where Men Win Glory quickly emerges as a classic Krakauer character. A charismatic athlete possessed of an insatiably curious mind, Tillman spurned the riches of life . . . to pursue old-fashioned notions of honor and sacrifice. He's Into the Wild 's Chris McCandless gone to war." - Outside Magazine "Riveting. . . . Krakauer's gripping book about this extraordinary man who lived passionately and died unnecessarily sets the record straight." - USA Today "Talk about an inspired pairing of subject and author. . . . [ Where Men Win Glory ] reveals a far more complex and emotional character than the mythical American 'hero.'" - O, The Oprah Magazine "Everyone (hawks, doves, patriots, subversives) can find something to celebrate in Pat Tillman. . . . A detailed portrait of a complicated hero." - Sports Illustrated "Gripping, heartbreaking reading. . . . At once unique and universal. . . . A fitting tribute." - The Christian Science Monitor "The first deeply reported book about Tillman by a first-rate journalist." - San Francisco Chronicle "A riveting examination of another American idealist's startling path and haunting death." - The Daily Beast "The combination of Krakauer and Tillman seems hard to resist. . . . Krakauer is a masterly writer and reporter. . . . [He] skillfully sketches Tillman's singular personality." - The New York Times Book Review "Jon Krakauer has done his job well. . . . He has made [Tillman's story] compelling and passionate. . . . The man who emerges is an iconoclast who is comfortable with challenging the status quo but hardly an angel." - The Denver Post "Krakauer brilliantly turns investigative reporter. . . . [A] wrenching account of the life and death of NFL star Pat Tillman." - People, 4 out of 4 stars "It's tough to think of a better match than Jon Krakauer . . . and the story of Pat Tillman." - Men's Journal "[A] riveting book. . . . No mere hagiography, this is investigative reporting at its best." -The Village Voice, A Best Book of the Year "Compelling. . . . [An] exceptional life. . . . The definitive version of events surrounding Tillman's death." - The Los Angeles Times "Jon Krakauer seeks out what people like to call American characters. Independent . . . guided by something powerful and beautiful. . . . [Tillman] was fearless and possessed of a remarkable sense of justice from the time he was born." - GQ "Tillman reveals himself to be an intelligent, inquisitive, principled, and tolerant young man with a zest for life. . . . [His story] is rendered with alarming clarity and chilling details." - Boston Globe "I read-devoured, actually-the Jon Krakauer book about Pat Tillman. . . . [Tillman] is a true alpha male, naturally pulling in others to follow his lead as if drawn by magnetic force. He was intensely curious, always challenging the status quo and interested in everyone. . . . Perhaps we can look to Pat Tillman for an enduring resolution to leave our comfort zones and step up when opportunities arise." -Andrew Brandt, The Huffington Post "A page-turning narrative. . . . Krakauer, "Nuanced, thorough, and chilling. . . . The arc of Tillman's life . . . echoes the trajectory of a classical hero's tale. . . .

Perhaps we can look to Pat Tillman for an enduring resolution to leave our comfort zones and step up when opportunities arise." -Andrew Brandt,The Huffington Post &at, "Jon Krakauer has done his job well;Where Men Win Gloryis a tough read...[He] has tackled a task that required the distillation and organization of volumes of disparate information. That he has fielded a coherent narrative is a victory. that he has made it compelling and passionate is a difficult blessing...In mining Tillman's life and death, Krakauer uncovers a story much more compelling than anything that could be spun." - The Denver Post "Krakauer -- whose forenseic studies of the Emrsonian Man in books such asInto Thin AirandInto the Wildyield so much insight -- has turned in a beautiful bit of reporting, documenting Tillman's life with journals and interviews with those close to him...Must be counted as the definitive version of events surrounding Tillman's death." --The Los Angeles Times "In this wrenching account of the life and eath of NFL star Pat Tillman, killed in friendly fire in Afghanistan in 2004, Krakauer brilliants turns investigative reporter...Krakauer will break your heart recounting how the military lied about Pat's death to his parents and fellow soldier Kevin." -- People "In this masterful work, bestselling adventure writer Jon Krakauer renders an intimate portrait of Tillman and brilliantly captures the sadness, madness, and heroism of the post-9/11 world...Drawing on interviews with family, fellow soldiers and correspondence, Krakauer's page-turning account captures every detail -- Tillman's extraordinary character, including the "tragic vitures" that led him to give up a comfortable life and athletic stardom for the army; the harshness of military training and life; the rugged terrain of remote Afghanistan -- and, of course, the ravages of war. Most critically, by telling Tillman's personal story and blowing apart the "cynical cover-up" that followed his killing, Krakauer lays bare the best -- and worst -- of America's War on Terror." -- Publisher's Weekly "Where Men Win Glory, Jon Krakauer's narrative of pro football player Pat Tillman's "odyssey," as he calls it, from the playing field to the battlefield, is nuanced, thorough, and chilling...[He] is up to the task of telling this brave man's story...Krakauer's tone is somber and judicious as he reports this ludicrous hijacking of the truth and its shameful cover-up, but the anger behind it charges every word. [He] has made sure that this shameful episode will not fade into obscurity and that Pat Tillman will be remembered for the man he truly was -- and not as the faux symbol of a failed policy." -- Portland Oregonian
