I'm reading the book now. Krakauer does insert himself and his observations into the book again. I don't think liberals will mind. Nor centrists, to an extent. But I'd guess that many conservatives will feel that his analyses of Bush administration decisions lack nuance.

All that said, there's not much to defend in those decisions and as with earlier Krakauer books, his personal comments are more like an aside than they are anything that destroys the flow of the book.

At Amazon's site, several reviewers comment that they find Tillman to be unlikable after reading the book. I'm getting a completely different picture; I like him a lot.

It goes without saying that the military's treatment of the Tillman death story is criminal. Someone should lose his pension over that one.
