  • Mary Tillman discusses her book, *Boots on the Ground by Dusk: My Tribute to Pat Tillman*, which is a memorial to her son and a report on what she underwent to discover the truth about his being killed by friendly fire in Afghanistan. Pat Tillman walked away from a multi-million dollar NFL contract to fight with the US Army in Afghanistan. His mysterious death in action sent his family into a tumultuous search for the truth, ultimately turning up lies by Army and Pentagon officials, and a cover-up of gross, deadly incompetence. This event is co-sponsored by the Georgia Center for the Book.
