The Daily Show With Jon Stewart Mon - Thurs 11p / 10c Jon Krakauer www.thedailyshow.com Daily Show Full Episodes Political Humor Ron Paul Interview A benefit for the Pat Tillman Foundation: Jon Krakauer - Discussion and Booksigning Saturday, October 3 at 7pm Jon Krakauer, the bestselling author of Into the Wild, Into Thin Air, and Under the Banner of Heaven, now delivers a stunning, eloquent account of Pat Tillman's remarkable and haunting journey. In May 2002, Pat Tillman walked away from his $3.6 million NFL Cardinals' contract to enlist in the United States Army. He was deeply troubled by 9/11, and he felt a strong moral obligation to join the fight against al-Qaeda and the Taliban. Two years later, he died on a desolate hillside in southeastern Afghanistan. Though obvious to most of the two dozen soldiers on the scene that a ranger in Tillman's own platoon had fired the fatal shots, the Army aggressively maneuvered to keep this information from Tillman's wife, other family members, and the American public for five weeks following his death. Long after Tillman's nationally televised memorial service, the Army notified his closest relatives that he had "probably" been killed by friendly fire while it continued to dissemble the details of his death and who was responsible. In Where Men Win Glory, Jon Krakauer draws on Tillman's journals and letters, interviews with his wife and friends, conversations with the soldiers who served alongside him, and extensive research on the ground in Afghanistan to render an intricate mosaic of this driven, complex, and uncommonly compelling figure as well as the definitive account of the events and actions that led to his death. Infused with the power and authenticity readers have come to expect from Krakauer's storytelling, Where Men Win Glory exposes shattering truths about men and war. This event is a benefit for the Pat Tillman Foundation. Net proceeds from ticket sales will benefit the foundation. Jon Krakauer will discuss and sign Where Men Win Glory: The Odyssey of Pat Tillman.
