A F CHAMBERLAIN BROS FIELDS OF HONOR: THE PAT TILLMAN STORY Overview:
First Book About Pat Tillman Celebrates The Life of
an American Hero
NEW YORK, May 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Pat Tillman's exemplary life and tragic
death brought the war home to many Americans. FIELDS OF HONOR: THE PAT TILLMAN
STORY (Chamberlain Bros.; May 2004; $9.95), is the first book to examine the
life and death of this remarkable man-from his start as a Pac-10 Defensive
Player of the Year out of Arizona State to his heroic turn as an Army Ranger.
Featuring up-to-the-minute details, including a full report on the May 3rd
memorial service held in Tillman's honor, FIELDS OF HONOR: THE PAT TILLMAN
STORY is a thoughtful tribute to a true American hero.

Pat Tillman turned his back on wealth and stardom to serve his country,
leaving a multimillion-dollar NFL contract on the table. On April 22, 2004, he
made the ultimate sacrifice for his beliefs when he was killed in action while
hunting Al Qaeda and the Taliban along the Pakistani border. His is a story
that for many will redefine terms like "hero" and "warrior," as he led a life
that will stand out among the greatest his generation had to offer.
Award-winning sportswriter Jonathan Rand charts the remarkable success
Tillman achieved both on and off the field, and details the circumstances that
made an athlete with a bright future sacrifice everything in the name of
patriotism.
Despite his choice to serve without fanfare, the news of Tillman's death
while hunting Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan echoed across the nation. As his
image found its place below the headlines in newspapers and on websites, for
the first time many Americans found a face to stand for the growing list of
casualties in the war against terror.
While he may have chosen to live a life of modesty, his sacrifice is too
important and too symbolic to pass unnoticed, and his story is now a part of
American history.
