the Odyssey of Pat Tillman

Excellent biography of Pat Tillman. I was living in Phoenix at the time Pat was killed, and he was heavily mourned by the community there. Then I moved to the Bay Area a few years later, where I learned he was quite a public figure as well. I wanted to find out more about him. Jon Kraukauer (author of Into the Wild) tells an excellent story of an iconoclast who felt driven by his ideals and values and never backed down from a challenge. He also showed what really happened behind the friendly fire incidents of both Tillman and Jessica Lynch. A sad ending to an extraordinary life; definitely worth the time, and well told.
