Not my usual, but a worthwhile read.

Where Men Win Glory: The Odyssey of Pat Tillman by Jon Krakauer

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


An exhaustively researched and brilliantly written story which is a scathing indictment of both the arrogant incompetents whose orders led to Tillman's death and the cynical, lying politicians who tried to benefit from it after the fact. Krakauer weaves into this account an eloquent rendering of the life story of the man himself and a window onto his beliefs and character, as told through both his own words and those of his friends and family.
