I'll look forward to reading this; I'm a fan of Krakauer's other books, as are my students. I am pleased that he has chosen to honor Pat Tillman.

All of the interesting aspects of Tillman, a truly intriguing individual, that Krakauer writes about is already years old and mentioned in other publications. Any new material he adds to the record is trivial.<br /><br />Anyway, I felt this book fell way short of what we know Krakauer can do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
