Beskrivning
In war, great commanders lead soldiers into hell to do the impossible. They were called Easy Company—but their mission was never easy. Immortalized as the Band of Brothers, they suffered 150 percent casualties while liberating Europe, an unparalleled record of bravery under fire. Dick Winters was their commander, “the best combat leader in World War II” to his men. This is his story, told in his own words for the first time. On D-Day, Dick Winters parachuted into France and assumed leadership of the Band of Brothers when their commander was killed. He led them through the Battle of the Bulge, the attack on Foy—where Easy Company reached its breaking point—and into Germany, by which time each member had been wounded. Neither a protest against war nor a glamorization of combat, this is a moving tribute to the human spirit by a man who earned the love and respect of the men of Easy Company and the adulation of new generations worldwide.
Recensioner
Band of brothers is my favourite book of all time along with the tv series as my favourite film/tv series of all time, so when I saw dick winters has written a book I had to read it and I wasn’t disappointed. A lot of the book was already covered in band of brothers but it was worth reading it again from a different angle.
