Pressestimmen
"You set out on foot to find things that can be found no other way: your country, yourself, your sense of direction in the most practical and metaphysical selves. In this book Rory Fanning, a young soldier back from the wars, shares the results of his odyssey with those of us who have not walked 3000 miles through wild places and rough weather. His encounters with Americans who might be described as ordinary but are often extraordinary and with himself and the places and their historical backstories make great reading (and maybe most of us are on some version of this quest, whether we know it or not)."—Rebecca Solnit, author of Wanderlust: A History of Walking"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."—Neil Steinberg, Chicago Sun-Times"A profoundly moving memoir about [Rory Fanning's] trek across the United States to raise money for the Pat Tillman Foundation, but more importantly it is a thoughtful, historically literate and often hilarious account of Fanning’s effort to forge a new relationship with a country he worried he had betrayed and had been betrayed by: disturbed by what he saw in Afghanistan....I can't recommend this book highly enough."—The Nation"[Fanning] shows us the imperial and harmful objective of U.S. foreign policy. He shows us the courage to walk away from it, and he shows us a path to a saner society." —Chicago Tribune"A compelling read from beginning to end, it is all the more impressive to note that "Worth Fighting For" is author Rory Fanning's debut book.... Readers will hope that it is not his last. [Rory's] an exceptional literarily talent writing about an exceptionally important (and timely) issue of national importance as well as personal relevance. "Worth Fighting For" is a unique and very highly recommended for personal reading lists and community library collections." —Midwest Book Review"Fanning combines memoir, travelogue, political tract, and history lesson in this engaging account of his 3,000-mile solo walk from Virginia to California to raise money for the Pat Tillman Foundation....Fanning’s descriptions of the hardships and highlights of the trip comprise the bulk of the book, and he infuses his left-wing politics into a narrative peppered with historical tidbits, most of which describe less-than-honorable moments in American history, such as the terrorist actions of the Ku Klux Klan and the nation’s Indian removal policies. What stands out most, though, is the selflessness and generosity—which come in the form of stories, hospitality, and donations for the foundation—of the people Fanning encountered during his journey."—Publishers Weekly"Blending a story of the road in the tradition of Kerouac with some politics and his search for meaning to a life after battle, Rory Fanning has composed an absorbing narrative. The writing is concise and heartfelt. The experiences he shares reveal something too many of us often forget—that the men and women in the imperial military are more than just uniforms and weapons; more than pawns to be used by a power structure that needs war to survive; and much more than so many uniforms to be manipulated by the media at sporting events and TV specials serving that power structure. The politics are subtle and personal; and ultimately an indictment of that power structure by a man who served it willingly and with conviction—until he came up against its ugly truth." —CounterPunch"Rory Fanning's transformation from soldier to peace pilgrim is a moving tale told with passion and eloquence. Long after the shooting stops, the soldiers who fight our wars are too often left to fight their personal battles alone. Fanning transforms his disillusionment with war and the military and strikes out for the country on a timeless journey of discovery. As he he traverses America on foot, he finds the radical heartbeat of a nation and builds bridges to people and places that have been left behind. This is a searing, honest, and ultimately hopeful tale of traveling a road from war to peace and justice."—David Goodman, co-author, Standing Up to the Madness"I recommend [this] book enthusiastically...a tale told with wisdom, erudition, kindness, humor, humility, and generosity of which I think Tillman might have been proud."—David Swanson, author of Daybreak: Undoing the Imperial Presidency and Forming a More Perfect Union"[Rory Fanning] walks coast to coast to serve a cause, to find himself, and to imagine a better America fit for all the good people he meets along the way and all the good soldiers lost. His hard journey changes him, and it may change you too."—Ann Jones, author of They Were Soldiers: How the Wounded Return from America's Wars"Worth Fighting For" takes us on a journey that will live inside you long after you finish the book. It is not only the physical journey that you make with Fanning as he walks across the country, but it's the psychological, political and spiritual journey that you accompany him on as well, as he makes sense of his experience in the U.S. military through the lens of the incredible people and history he interacts with on his trek from the Atlantic to the Pacific. With each step and every page, we experience the evolving clarity of Fanning's politics, worldview, and purpose in life." —Jen Marlowe, author, I Am Troy Davis and The Hour of Sunlight: One Palestinian's Journey from Prisoner to Peacemaker

Great book. The short chapter format was perfect. Changed my views a bit as well. Looking forward to what Rory writes next.
Rory's book captures the feeling that many disaffected and disenfranchised veterans experience, having been a pawn of American imperialism. Both evocative and cathartic, his work never ceases to be captivating. I have passed this book off to four people now; all of them have taken something meaninful from it and loved Rory's writing.
This book was so inspiring. Rory Fanning is a great man to honor another great man this way. Pat Tillman was killed for this country and Rory wanted to properly say goodbye to his friend, fellow soldier and true human ally in the fight for 'liberty and justice for all'. Rory walked on two feet, and went step by step across America to meet and greet the people of the nation Pat died for. The people he met make you proud to be an American.May his noble journey and Pat's memory continue to inspire him and others to live with passion, purpose and honesty, in harmony with nature and with compassion for each other. If we had more men like Pat and Rory in positions of authority America would be the powerfully peaceful nation so many of us know it could be.We civilians are the only ones who can protect the spirits and bodies of our brave service men and women from the corruption of the war mongers in the world who spill their blood needlessly for financial gain. We must walk with men like Rory. We must honor men like Pat. This book reminds us that our soldiers lives are worth fighting for.
Amazing story - read it in one sitting.
I am so appreciative of the moral courage that Rory displayed and further appreciative that he is willing to share that experience with we the reader. My time was of an earlier time than Rory as I am a Viet Nam vet. I was not a Ranger, but was in a Special Forces Group, so can relate to what it is like being in what most consider to be an elite unit. As Chris Hedges has observed from his many years as a war correspondent, physical courage is easy to find in war, but moral courage is rare. That is what I found in war also, hence my great admiration of Rory.
