They were called Easy Company--but their mission was never easy.
Immortalized as the Band of Brothers, they suffered 150% casualties
while liberating Europe--an unparalleled record of bravery under
fire. Dick Winters was their commander--"the best combat leader in
World War II" to his men. This is his story--told in his own words
for the first time.
On D-Day, Dick Winters parachuted into France and assumed
leadership of the Band of Brothers when their commander was killed.
He led them through the Battle of the Bulge and into Germany, by
which time each member had been wounded. They liberated an S.S.
death camp from the horrors of the Holocaust and captured
Berchtesgaden, Hitler's alpine retreat. After briefly serving
during the Korean War, Winters was a highly successful businessman.
Made famous by Stephen Ambrose's book Band of Brothers--and the
subsequent award-winning HBO miniseries--he is the object of
worldwide adulation.
Beyond Band of Brothers is Winters's memoir--based on his wartime
diary--but it also includes his comrades' untold stories. Virtually
all this material is being released for the first time. Only
Winters was present from the activation of Easy Company until the
war's end. Winner of the Distinguished Service Cross, only he could
pen this moving tribute to the human spirit.
