(show)  Carine McCandless - The Wild Truth Into the wild, Jon Krakauer’s haunting account of Chris McCandless and his struggle to survive alone in remote Alaska, made the troubled young man’s experience vivid—but left his motives blurry. His younger sister, Carine, is one of the few to understand what drove Chris, and her memoir of their childhood and family at last clarifies McCandless’s seemingly bizarre actions.

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. (Doubleday, $27.95). All of Jon Krakauer's books will be available for purchase and
signing. Tickets are $36 and include one copy of Where Men Win Glory: The Odyssey of Pat Tillman.
(Vouchers for Where Men Win Glory will be given out until September 15, when the book is released.)
Tickets are only available at Changing Hands Bookstore: 6428 S. McClintock Dr. Tempe, AZ 85283 / 480.730.0205.
Can't attend? If you'd like an autographed copy of Where Men Win Glory please call us at 480.730.0205
