War is a Racket: The Antiwar Classic by America's Most Decorated Soldier | Pay Any Price | No Good Men Among the Living | No Good Men Among the Living
"Rory Fanning's odyssey is more than a walk across America. 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."âNeil Steinberg, Chicago Sun-Times
Pat Tillman's death by friendly fire was covered up just days before his comrade Rory Fanningâwho served in the same unit as Tillmanâleft the Army Rangers as a conscientious objector. Disquieted by his tours in Afghanistan, Fanning sets out to honor Tillman's legacy by crossing the United States on foot.
Told with page-turning style, humor, and warmth, Worth Fighting For explores the emotional and social consequences of rejecting the mission of one of the most elite fighting forces in the world. It is only through the generous, and colorful people Fanning meets and the history he discovers that he learns to live again.
Rory Fanning walked across the United States for the Pat Tillman Foundation in 2008â09, following two deployments to Afghanistan with the 2nd Army Ranger Battalion. He is a housing activist living in Chicago, Illinois. Rory works for Haymarket Books and this is his first book.
