UNDATED (AP) - The mother of Pat Tillman is doubting that she's gotten the full story about her son's death by friendly fire in Afghanistan.

Mary Tillman describes her investigation into the 2004 killing of her son, a former NFL player-turned-Army Ranger, in her new book.

Tillman says she strongly suspects the men who shot her son stepped out of a Humvee to aim carefully at him. She says they were not, as official accounts have said, speeding by on a bumpy mountain road. The shooters have denied this.

Lawmakers granted Mary Tillman access to uncensored versions of some documents that weren't available to journalists. Her book is based on her review of those documents and charts the Tillman family's efforts to cut through what it considers misleading official accounts of how Pat Tillman died.
