About this product

Product Information

They fought on Utah Beach, in Arnhem, Bastogne, the Bulge; they spearheaded the Rhine offensive and took possession of Hitler's Eagle's Nest in Berchtesgaden. Easy Company, 506th Airborne Division, U.S. Army, was as good a rifle company as any in the world. From their rigorous training in Georgia in 1942 to D-Day and victory, Ambrose tells the story of this remarkable company, which kept getting the tough assignments. Easy Company was responsible for everything from parachuting into France early D-Day morning to the capture of Hitler's Eagle's Nest at Berchtesgaden. BAND OF BROTHERS is the account of the men of this remarkable unit who fought, went hungry, froze, and died, a company that took 150 percent casualties and considered the Purple Heart a badge of office. Drawing on hours of interviews with survivors as well as the soldiers' journals and letters, Stephen Ambrose tells the stories, often in the men's own words, of these American heroes.

Excellent book
This is an excellent book that really takes you there. After watching the TV series I wanted to have a read of this. I'm so glad I did as there's some parts you don't get in what was an excellent tv series also. Highly recommend both.

Heartbreaking and funny at times.
It seemed impossible that anyone could endure such pain physically and mental for weeks on end but this group of men did. Should be compulsory viewing worldwide!!
