3A not so transparent book.  Oct 16, 2009
The Transparent Pillage is a follow up to Kevin Tillman's powerful 2006[...]. Despite its brevity, it is a thought-provoking read. Tillman places the circumstances surrounding his brother's death against a backdrop of lies promulgated by the Bush administration. However, it is the pictures that truly make this story. They are so detailed that I find myself discovering something new each time I look at them.

I must confess that I am a little perplexed as to why the author would choose to present his arguments in the manner that he has. Although I like the pictures, I am unclear as to why he decided to write a picture book. Furthermore, the only people who would have access to The Transparent Pillage would be those who choose to purchase a copy. These people would most likely already agree with the author's sentiments. So why bother preaching to the converted? It would have made a far greater impact if Tillman wrote a lengthier piece for a more widely distributed publication. Nonetheless, this book is a challenging read, one that is well worth the effort.

1The Transparent Pillage by Kevin Tillman  Dec 24, 2008
I've never been so disappointed about a book as this one, with all the material that Kevin has, and knows about, this is book is a joke, why even waist his time and ours, then to make the disclaimer like it is just made up, everybody that ask me about it I say don't waist your money.

5Simple, but Good book  Dec 21, 2008
Coming from the brother of the well known Pat Tillman and from a former Army Ranger this book has the authority to say in a very simple way the truth.
Good book from man Tillman

Living in Arizona and being a veteran, gives me an even closer concern over what happened. It's a very important message showing the corruption of government/military but was treated in a juvenile manner. The intention was good but lost in the delivery.

5Powerful, Important  Nov 19, 2008
The brilliant simplicity in Kevin Tillman's concept of explaining the step-by-step events that led us into the Iraq war through the format of a traditional "children's book" is extremely powerful. Reading this book actually reminded me of some of the details that I had already lost in the shuffle. I believe this concise, 24-page story is one of the most compelling explanations, from any media source, of how we got here.
