Good news for Jon Krakauer fans: The Into the Wild author will indeed release his book about Pat Tillman, the NFL star who was killed in Afghanistan in 2004. Eight months after Doubleday confirmed that the book was postponed indefinitely — thanks to Krakauer’s displeasure with his manuscript — the publisher announced plans to release the book Sept. 22 (Doubleday said Krakauer reversed his decision on its release after having additional time to write and report the book). According to Publishers Marketplace, the book is titled Where Men Win Glory: The Odyssey of Pat Tillman, and Doubleday will release 600,000 copies in its first printing.

It is good news to hear that Krakauer’s book about Pat Tillman will at last be released. I’m also glad Krakauer changed the title. Pat was never one for superficial accolades.
