Pat Tillman : Beyond the game/ by Andrew Maraniss ; illustrated by DeAndra Hodge.

Maraniss, Andrew,: (author.). Hodge, DeAndra, (illustrator.).

Summary:

In this 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.
