Disappointing
A big fan of Krakauer, I found this book disappointing. Starts off great but by the end, I find myself detached from Tillman and his family and actually annoyed with the whole book. Krakauer injects his politics into a story that should have been about Tillman. He committed the cardinal sin of telling far more than showing at the end. Way too preachy. Turned me off. Regardless of your political preferences, Krakauer should have known better than to take his eye off the ball, or in this case, off Tillman. That's the real tragedy of Where Men Win Glory. I'm just glad I "rented" this instead of buying.
