Summary
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 casualities 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 tell the stories - often in the men's own words - of these American hereoes.

Classic!
Instant classic. Quite different from the other WW2 memoirs. Also, surprisingly different from the smash HBO hit miniseries of the same name.

A Remarkable Chronicle of a Remarkable Company
Captivating from start to finish. Ambrose’s ability to mirror military detail with deep insight into the experiences of those who stood up is unrivalled. The book provides more extensive characterisation and detail than the series

Men at their best in the worst of conditions
Would you consider the audio edition of Band of Brothers to be better than the print version?
yes Tim Jerome gave the account life.
What did you like best about this story?
All of it
Which character – as performed by Tim Jerome – was your favourite?
All of them except the British accents, I am British and do not know anyone who speaks
with Tims idea of a British accent.
Any additional comments?
It is a great account of men at war, but one is left with the feeling that the American
soldier had no equal.
