Description
Sergeant Darrell "Shifty" Powers, the legendary sharpshooter from the Band of Brothers, is the subject of this authoritative biography. From D-Day to the Battle of the Bulge, Shifty's remarkable story is one of heroism and adventure. As a young man, Shifty's goal was to become the best rifle shot he could be, a skill that would ultimately save his life and those of his fellow paratroopers. Trained at Camp Toccoa, Georgia, Shifty was one of only two soldiers in Easy Company to earn the expert marksman designation. He parachuted into France on D-day and fought in some of the war's most pivotal battles, including Normandy, Holland, Bastogne, and the Ruhr pocket in Germany. Shifty's War is a gripping account of a soldier's experiences in World War II, told through the eyes of a man whose skills as a sharpshooter and engaging personality propelled him to a life greater than he could have ever imagined.
