Description
Band of Brothers tells the story of Easy Company, a crack rifle company in the US Army, from their rigorous training in Georgia in 1942 to their triumphant capture of Hitler's 'Eagle's Nest' in Berchtesgaden. Ambrose chronicles their heroic adventures and soul-shattering confrontations, bringing back to life the profound ties of brotherhood forged in the barracks and on the battlefields.
Repeatedly sent on the toughest missions, these brave men fought, went hungry, froze and died in the service of their country. This reissue, celebrating the 25th anniversary since its original publication, features a new foreword from Tom Hanks, who was an executive producer on the award-winning HBO series.
History is boldly told and elegantly written in this gripping account, which proves once again that Ambrose is a masterful historian. A tale of courage and sacrifice, Band of Brothers is a powerful tribute to the men of Easy Company.
