Bag om Beyond the Game: Pat Tillman

"This is the story of NFL star Pat Tillman, who gave up his NFL career to enlist in the army. In this chapter book biography by acclaimed author Andrew Maraniss, readers learn more about the life and work of Pat Tillman-an NFL player who left his career with the Arizona Cardinals to enlist in the army after 9/11, and ultimately was killed by friendly fire. After 9/11, Pat Tillman felt it was his duty as an American to stand up for the country, even though he was a pro football player in the prime of his career. He was someone who matched his toughness on the field with a soft heart, someone who always stood up for the underdog, and someone who felt an obligation to do the right thing-not depend on other people to do it. And for all his actions, Tillman often questioned his role in the military and the war-revealing the depths of his integrity and the ethical way he lived his life. Through his actions and his legacy, Pat Tillman has changed the world beyond sports.
