Product Description
Simple Company, 506th Airborne Division, U.S. Army, was as excellent a rummage though company as any in the world. From their rigorous training in Georgia in 1942 to D-Day and victory, Ambrose tells the tale of this remarkable company, which kept getting the tough assignments. Simple Company was reliable 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 tales — regularly in the men’s own words — of these American hereoes.Amazon.com Review
The men of E Company, 506th Regiment, 101st Airborne, volunteered for this elite fighting force because they wanted to be the best in the army–and avoid fighting alongside unmotivated, out-of-shape draftees. The fee they paid for that desire was long, arduous, and sometimes sadistic training, followed by some of the most horrific battles of World War II. Actor Cotter Smith–a veteran of copious TV movies and Broadway plays–spins Stephen Ambrose’s tale with nearly laconic ease. Anecdote by anecdote, he lets the power of the tale erect. By the time the company has gotten through D-day and seized Hitler’s Eagle’s Nest in Bavaria, we feel we know as much about the men and their missions as we do about our own brothers.

I’ll hand it to Ambrose….this is a pretty excellent book. I don’t reflect a hundred books about tiny units of the 101st and 82nd could really ever get me there, but “Band of Brothers” is a decent attempt. A semi-personal account such as this is pretty entertaining, but for a gut feel of what it is like up close, read Donald Burgett’s brilliant set or my personal favorite, the unparalleled “Persons Devils In Baggy Pants” by the late Ross S. Carter.

I was disappointed. This book is just nothing like Ambrose.

A rather silly and superficial telling of a military group of paratroupers. Names come and go and an officer named Winters is idolized. He doesn’t drink, doesn’t curse, kills Germans by the dozens and even takes time to comfort new replacements. Save your money and check out the TV series.
