Description In Favor Of Books Band of Brothers: E Company, 506th Regiment, 101st Airborne from Normandy to Hitler's Eagle's Nest

As good a rifle company as any, Easy Company, 506th Airborne Division, US Army, kept getting tough assignments--responsible for everything from parachuting into France early DDay 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 & died, a company that took 150% casualties & considered the Purple Heart a badge of office. Drawing on hours of interviews with survivors as well as the soldiers' journals & letters, Stephen Ambrose recounts the stories, often in the men's own words, of these American heroes.

Article Of Books Band of Brothers: E Company, 506th Regiment, 101st Airborne from Normandy to Hitler's Eagle's Nest

First of all, I think it is impossible to review this book completely separate from its miniseries. Especially, because I loved that series so much, and that led to me reading the book. Also, reading this book was a refreshing experience as I do not read history book as often as I would like. Band of Brothers the book is a very accessible history book if you would ask me. Ambroses writing style is straightforward and merely describes Easy Companys history as he understood it through facts and

Just the stories told in this book made it really superb. It might be one of the best accounts on WWII. Might be it is, but for the annoying comments of Ambrose at every chapter, reminding the reader that they (US) won because the "democratic soldier" had the moral superiority over the German (Nazi) soldier. So, it is difficult to rate it properly.To win a war or a battle has nothing to do with moral righteousness.The book will be among the best on WWI if you skip Ambrose's comments on every

Just so you know, this author was accused of plagiarism. It's important that you know this.Slate Article.And not possibly made a mistake type either (see Fareed Zakaria. Ambrose did it more than once.Knowing that fact is important, regardless of how you view the book.

One of my favorite tv shows and books. I had this book on my tbr stack and decided to get reading it. I have always been interested in the band of brothers and their story. This book was really good and nothing I write will do it justice.

I'm shocked to learn that Ambroses taught history. The military history/analysis is pretty poor to appalling. He's good when he talks about Easy Company and relates stories. (Though he states that the book is "very much a group effort" with the men from E Company, so how much of that credit goes to them is anybody's guess, and some events were anonymised and possibly left out to protect people.)Whenever he attempts military analysis of the actual way/battles, his thoughtless "MURRIKA!"

Let Me Stay in My Comfortable Life of FreedomTom Hanks captivated me with his performance in Saving Private Ryan, which starts out with a group of soldiers approaching Omaha Beach. They are trembling and shaking and puking. Then the door drops. Then the shit goes down. Then my heart is ever captivated by the heroes of World War 2. I watched this first in surround sound and I cussed so badly my friend protested. It changed my life. I couldnt believe this had really happened. Stephen Ambrose, the
