Description
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.
"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.'"
