It is a gripping story of one young man's intellectual journey from eager soldier to skeptical radical, a look at not only the physical immenseness of the country, its small towns, and highways, but into the enormity of its past, the hidden sins and unredeemed failings of the United States. The reader is there along with Rory, walking every step, as challenging and rewarding experience for us as it was for him.\"-Neil Steinberg, \u003ci\u003eChicago Sun-Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePat Tillman's death by friendly fire was covered up just days before his comrade Rory Fanning-who served in the same unit as Tillman-left the Army Rangers as a conscientious objector.
