JON KRAKAUER | "The Hero"

On October 14th, Jon Krakauer will relase his new book, "The Hero," in which he will tell the entire story of Pat Tillman.

While many people have told the story heroic and eventually tragic and shameful story hat revolves around Pat Tillman, I am sure that Krakauer will do true justice to the complete sags.

Krakauer's new book, The Hero, will be released by publisher Doubleday on October 14, 2008. The Hero will be about former NFL football player Pat Tillman, who enlisted in the US Army after 9/11 to become an Army Ranger and was eventually killed in action under suspicious circumstances in Afghanistan. In addition to performing research in Afghanistan, Krakauer was able to interview members of Tillman's family and read Tillman's diaries and letters, to prepare for writing the book. Doubleday's David Drake says Krakauer's interest in Tillman reflects "the fascination he has with extreme people, who push themselves to the very limits of their capabilities".

Krakauer is one of the worst non-fiction authors currently writing. I'm sure he'll manage to take Tillman's fascinating story and make it borderline unreadable.
