I had heard of Pat Tillman, knew he played for the Cardinals, and was killed in the war but that barely scratches the surface of what this book offered. It was an in-depth look at not only Tillman's life but at the military. No matter which way you lean politically, the unjust manner in how this case was handled is appalling. While I can say this book was thoroughly enjoyable, I have to admit there were times I had to put the book down and walk away.. to digest what I had just read.

This book is amazing. I can't say that I agreed with some of Pat Tillman's beliefs but knowing where he comes from gives more meaning to this story. This isn't a short, happy story. It's a detailed account of Pat through the good and bad. I think people need to be reminded of just how skewed the media can be and what real families are going through.
