First book to finish

OK, I am not done with it yet, but will be in the next day or so. I have never found a book to keep my interest very long, even small books, but this one is a great book to read, action, true life experiences, and very informational. I have not seen the series in order yet, just when i can catch them on tv, but plan to after i finish this book. I would recomment this book to anyone.

Don't miss this one!

The book the marvelous Band of Brother's mini series was extracted from is one great read. I've always trusted Mr. Ambrose histories and this is one of his best. A strongly reccommended read and I highly recommend watching the mini series Band of Brothers also. Excellent.

Not like the TV movies

I don't know which I liked better. The book or the TV movies. Both had there good and bad points.
The movies had lots of "Hollywood" action, and fudged the truth a little. The book didn't seem to go deep enough.

A must read

This is a great book. Stephen E. Ambrose was a great historian who recently passed away. This is his time period and this is one of the best World War II books I have ever read. It was eventually adapted into an HBO miniseries so if you don't want to read the book, watch the miniseries because the miniseries sticks very close to the book. The book is not that long, nor is it that dense but the reader comes to know and love the 101st Airborne Easy company. Those men were so brave and did so much for our country and that shows through this book.

A more complete story.

The Band of Brother book is the more complete story of Easy company focusing much more on the personal details of the idividuals as they journeyed towards the occupation of Germany. Anyone who was intrigued by the movie will enjoy this book as it expands on many of the details of battle from the personal point of view of the soldiers who experienced it. The book weighs heavily on LT. Winters who commanded Easy company and much on Pvt. Webster due to his eloquence with desribing war despite the fact that he was not in the Bastogne campaign for which the 101st became infamous.

Over all it is good and captivating read but if you are looking for the ultimate story of battle for the 101st read the Donald Burgett series of books (4 in all) that describe his personal exploits in A company of the 506th.
