The highly acclaimed Band of Brothers, the story of the toughest
fighting unit in WWII that has become the TV event of 2001 with a
major BBC miniseries produced by Tom Hanks and Stephen Spielberg.
They fought on Utah Beach, in Arnhem, Bastogne, the Bulge; they
spearheaded the Rhine offensive and took possession of Hitler's
Eagle's Nest in Berchtesgaden. 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 casualties 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 tells the
stories, often in the men's own words, of these American heroes.
