Pat Tillman walked away from a multimillion-dollar NFL contract to join the Army and became an icon of post-9/11 patriotism. When he was killed in Afghanistan two years later, a legend was born.

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.
