Band of Brothers : E Company, 506th Regiment, 101st Airborne from Normandy to Hitler's Eagle's Nest
As good a rifle company as any in the world, Easy Company, 506th Airborne Division, U.S. Army, kept getting the tough assignments -- responsible for everything from parachuting into France early D-Day 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, 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 recounts the stories, often in the men's own words, of these American heroes.

- Miniseries vs. Book
This may be the first time I enjoyed the movie (the HBO miniseries) more than the book. "Band of Brothers" is a very straightforward record drawn from personal accounts from the paratroopers of E Company and other sources. Stephen...

- Well written, fast-paced
By now many people have seen the HBO series, and if you have I highly recommend the book. I am a big fan of Ambrose's work, and this book is probably my favorite by him. What I liked best was the human side to the story. You got to...

- A disappointment from a talented author
In this book, Ambrose crafts a narrative out of recollected war stories of a company of American paratroopers. It's surprisingly unemotional for a war story, largely because the participants aren't characterized very well. The company...

- For the love of god don't read this book!!!
Stay away from ambrose and his terrible books, he paints a poor and incomplete picture of WW2, he is biased (IE in DDay he never once interveiwed a Troop Carrier pilot and painted them as cowards), he glamourises war and hides the terror...
