Why people recommend it

Where Men Win Glory by Jon Krakauer is a biographical non-fiction book that investigates the life, military service, and tragic friendly-fire death of Pat Tillman in Afghanistan, alongside a scathing look at the military and political cover-ups that followed. Aaron Rodgers strongly recommended the book on The Tucker Carlson Show, praising its detailed account of Tillman's life. Dax Shepard similarly championed the work on The Tim Ferriss Show, calling it an incredible book. On Behind the Bastards, Robert Evans used the text as a primary source to explore Tillman's background, incorporating passages from Tillman's personal journals and diaries. Evans cited Krakauer's reporting to detail how military figures like General McChrystal attempted to hide the truth from the Tillman family. Additionally, Evans used the book to support assertions that the Bush administration manipulated the media coverage surrounding Jessica Lynch's rescue in order to distract the American public from friendly-fire casualties and other military blunders in the region.
