Book Description
================
As good a rifle company as any in the world, Easy Company, 506th Airborne
Division, U.S. Army, kept getting the tough assignements - responsible
for everything from parachuting into France early D-Day morning to the
capture of Hitler's Eagle's Nest at Berchtesgaden. In Band of Brothers,
Ambrose tells of the men in this brave 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
recounts the stories, often in the men's own words, of these American
heroes.
Ambrose ( Pegasus Bridge ) narrates in vivid detail the adventures,
misadventures, triumphs and tragedies of a single U.S. Army infantry
company over its span of organizational life. Formed in July 1944 and
deactivated in November 1945, E Company was one of the most successful
light infantry units in the European theater. Its troops saw their first
action on D-Day behind the Normandy beachhead, took part in Operation
Market Garden in Holland, held the perimeter around Bastogne during
the Battle of the Bulge, and were the first to reach Hitler's Bavarian
outpost at Berchtesgaden. The book is enlivened with pertinent comments
by veterans of "Easy Company," who recall not only the combat action
but their relations with their officers (one company commander was a
petty tyrant of the worst type, but his oppressive ways had much to
do with the unit's impressive esprit de corps ) and their impressions
of the countries through which they campaigned (hated the French, loved
the Germans). This is a terrific read for WW II actions buffs. Photos.
