Where Men Win GloryJon Krakauer's where Men Win Glory is a page turning, can't put it down book about the life and death of a very complex man, Pat Tillman. The only fault I find with Krakauer's book is the title. Tillman was an unselfish man in pursuit of honor, not glory. After reading the book, I was impressed by his ethic, incredulous at his decision to enlist, and despondent to the point of tears for the how and why he died and the ensuing cover-up by the army.Depending upon the source, Tillman was a very good to just above average football player. Krakauer develop Tillman's character from early in his life as a risk taker who s challenged himself, not so much for the thrill, but the development of self reliance and self confidence. A character willing to stand up for the Little guy, to the point of fault, the path of least resistance never seemed to be the road taken. He had a great sense of loyalty to family, friends, teammates, the Arizona Cardinals, and his ranger comrades.I looked upon the book as a story with a long prelude, that explains why Pat Tillman made the decision to enlist in the Army, and Krakauer does a brilliant job providing the reader with a dissection of Tillman's complexity. Why would a man who, to the average person, had everything, give it all up? Upon finishing Where Men Win Glory, the reader might begin to understand.From the introduction to Part Two, a quote from Chris Hedges, "A Culture of Atrocity""War is always about betrayal, betrayal of the young by the old, of idealists by cynics and of troops by politicians." Krakauer leads the reader to understand that after Tillman made the decision to enlist, though filled with second thoughts, he believed in, and followed through with the commitments he made. He was a man who had questions about serving the man in charge, George Bush, but not the country he volunteered to protect. Yet, though he would follow through with orders given, his insights and analysis helps one understand why the armed forces prefer them young and dumb.Krakauer is keen in his judgements and implications of the shadiness of the Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld regime, in cahoots with a military powerful, like none other in the history of the world, yet possessing a command structure with the overall intelligence of someone with a room temperature IQ. The book periodically exposes the public relations stunts by the Bush Administration to capitalize on small stories, loaded with prevarication, to obscure messes wandered into by the army in Iraq and Afghanistan, notably the Jessica Lynch story that provided escape from the fratricide and casualties during the attack Nasriyah and the cover-up of Tillman's death, and what was nothing more than the scapegoating of his platoon leader, Lieutenant David Uthlaut.Krakauer makes extensive use of Pat Tillman's journal and written correspondence. This provides insight into the mind, the method and the madness of what made Pat Tillman. Defensive coordinator for the Arizona Cardinals, in his eulogy to pat Tillman catches the essence of the man," as fiercely unique, with a strong dislike for the easy way out. He was caring, he was thoughtful and he was soft. Pat was soft in the heart. He was humble yet confident, reserved, but he was hard. You wanted this guy on your team, and it didn't have to be a football team..." In the end, Tillman's decision to join the army and fight in Afghanistan was not a tragic flaw in this unique man's short Journey through life, but a "tragic virtue."I highly recommend Jon Krakauer's book about the life of Pat Tillman, Where Men Win Glory.
If you're looking for a book to make you feel good about the wars in Iraq and/or Afghanistan, skip this one. Reading about Tillman's journey that took him on an uncommon journey to a sad conclusion brings to mind the death Kelton Turner, an 18-year old Marine, the last soldier killed Vietnam in 1975. We can and should ask, "Why? What was accomplished by their sacrifices and the pain and sacrifices of their families?"Does Krakauer's telling to the Tillman story represent truth, a sliver of truth or something more? Each reader will reach his or her own conclusion. Mine is this: Everyone should read the book and then set it down and reflect. There are important lessons therein.Unfortunately, I fear those lessons will be easily forgotten or worse, ignored.
Many people decry Krakauer's narrative of Pat Tillman as politically slanted in this book. I disagree. Krakauer both humanizes and heroificates Pat Tillman, providing an honest, yet inspiring portrait of the man who walked away from a multimillion dollar NFL contract to serve his country. Tragically, a large part of Pat's story is the high-level cover-up that shrouded the details of his friendly fire killing as propaganda. Krakauer spares no punches against those involved, but never shifts the focus off of Tillman, as using him as a symbol of liberal dissatisfaction would be just as dehumanizing as his posthumous portrayal by the Bush administration. Readers of this book will leave with new perspective not on the war on terror, but with life as a whole. I think it's what Pat would have wanted.
I was blown away by this book. The way the Tillman family was treated by the US Army after Pat died was heartbreaking. Like most Americans, I love my country. However, this book helped me to understand what I think we all suspect. The US government and military will do what is right for themselves, not what is right for its people or its soldiers. Our country is headed for a dark place if this type of leadership is allowed to continue. I've never read about or heard of a man like Pat Tillman. Men like Pat (if they even exist) are the unique type of human being truly capable of altruistic leadership, but how can these men succeed in a culture where cheaters and liars have the obvious advantage and are the type that covet positions of power?? This book was enlightening, concerning, and inspiring. Krakauer is a fine writer and I'm very thankful that he shared Pat Tillman's story. THANK YOU!
Excellent account of the conspiracy to cover up the death of Pat Tillman by friendly fire.Were it not for the courageous, persistent, relentless pressure put on the military by Pat's mother, Mary Tillman, the truth would never have been revealed to the public by the military who were trying to cover up the fratricide. Mary, Kevin (Pat's brother) and Mary's brother Mike held the military accountable and were shocked to learn that the men responsible for killing Pat and his commanding officers were not going to be punished for the murder and cover up!
