Glory. It is an honor to which all men aspire, even if they are not aware of it. Everyone’s definition of “fame” is different. For one, “fame” might mean earning a medical degree; for another, it might mean taking center stage in a room as applause surrounds her. For Pat Tillman, fame wasn't defined as a multimillion-dollar contract with the NFL or millions of adoring fans. This meant following one's right inner voice and fulfilling one's civil obligations. In Where Men Win Glory by Jon Krakauer, Tillman rejects a successful football career to join the military after being deeply disturbed by the terrorist attack of September 11, 2011. I never expected a book with so much war and politics can be so heartbreaking. Although I didn't like the political aspects of the book, I was moved by the story. However, John Krakauer's writing style made me experience ups and downs throughout the book. Despite the negative details, I love this book. I have never felt more connected to a book assigned as school work. I'm not the type of person who likes lies, double motives and violence, so naturally, I'm not interested in politics and war. Obviously, with the scenario taking place in Afghanistan, war and politics would be inevitable. During the story presentation, when the background and history of the war was revealed, I got so bored. Then, towards the end, the deceptive actions taken by the US government and military made me extremely ashamed. The particular fact that the military and government hid and misrepresented the fact that Pat Tillman was killed due to friendly fire made me angry and disappointed. Despite my strong feelings against war and politics, I am aware that this is a book about a hero's time in Afghanistan, so I can... middle of paper...... I was exposed to this book. Since this was a school assignment, I thought Where Men Win Glory would be another ridiculous story about the typical hero in a typical conflict situation. Luckily, I was wrong because it was one of the most moving books I've read. Although it involved more politics than I would have liked and Jon Krakauer's writing technique was uncreative, the diary entries of the hero himself and the statements of those who knew best Pat Tillman touched my heart and made it a moving and inspiring story that I loved. won't soon forget. I would absolutely recommend this book. I think everyone should read this book at some point in their life because everyone has a different idea of ​​what “fame” is. Where Men Win Glory takes the reader through the undisputed success of Pat Tillman, NFL star turned fallen comrade, in achieving Glory..
