Boots on the Ground by Dusk - My Tribute to Pat Tillman

$25.95

By Mary Tillman with Narda Zacchino

Pat Tillman gave up a professional football career to "serve his country." He was killed in Afghanistan on April 22, 2004. He was awarded several medals posthumously. His family was told he died while running up a hill in pursuit of the "enemy."

A month and two days after his death, the family learned that Tillman had been shot three times in the head by his own troops in a "friendly fire" incident. In the course of three and a half years, the family has pursued the truth. Through their efforts there have been seven investigations, several inquiries and two Congressional hearings. The Tillmans are still awaiting an outcome.

This story, told by Pat Tillman's mother, Mary Tillman, is a moving chronicle of a family transformed by a most tragic event in their lives.

This book is an indictment of the post 9/11 U.S. wars, the U.S. military and all the politicians and judiciary that shield the military from the just anger of its opponents.
