Digital Photo Album for When Men Win Glory by Jon Krakauer
The bestselling author of Into the Wild, Into Thin Air, and Under the Banner of Heaven, Jon Krakauer, goes behind the scenes to uncover the life and death of Pat Tillman in his latest book, Where Men Win Glory.
“Krakauer’s book…must be counted as the definitive version of events surrounding Tillman’s death” —The Los Angeles Times
As part of his research for Where Men Win Glory, Jon Krakauer was embedded with American and Afghan forces in May and June 2006, and from December 2006 through February 2007. Below are photographs from the field.

Jon, thank you for writing this book. Both the story of Pat Tillman and America’s misadventures in Afghanistan, needed to be told. Once Bush decided to invade Iraq, the war in Afghanistan became an afterthought. Only now are we trying to pick up the pieces there. Pat Tillman was a classic hero, not a John Wayne type but one in the Greek tradition, a man who stepped away from his everyday life because a more noble cause called him to duty. What the Army did, covering up his death while exploiting it at the same time, was reprehensible. When I was in the Army (1966-68), there was a saying, “The Army takes care of its own.” In the case of Pat Tillman, it should be, the Army covers its own.
I am an old friend of Cpt. Dennis Knowles and have been looking for him for a very long time. Can anyone help me get in contact with him? I have not seen him in person in over 10 years, but he is very much still the Dennis I knew.
