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

Poor as a history but an enjoyable story
To read this book you would think that the entire war was won solely by Easy company. The author was clearly attached to the men he interviewed which clouded his objectivity. However as a good war time read the book hits all the marks. Very enjoyable.
