Band of Brothers: E Company, 506th Regiment, 101st Airborne from Normandy to Hitler's Eagle's Nest

If you loved B of B you need to read this book. It gave so much more insight. I must have read it ten times.

I'm in awe of the series "Band of Brothers". The author of this book interviewed the last remaining Easy Company soldiers in the late 90's. So it's based on very factual interviews and honors Easy Company. I compare it with Dick Winters book. Now I see the series in a different perspective. Get these books if you have seen the series.

Unlike most people I know I had not watched the series. I wanted to read the book before watching the series and I'm glad I did. This is an excellent read; I thoroughly enjoyed it.

It's a great book to read ...you learn more about World War II at least part of it...

If you liked the show you'll love the book I personally depend very heavily on reviews that are posted on Amazon, as do many other consumers. I not only read what reviewers say, but look to see what their pictures reveal about a products true quality and description. I aim to not only feature the products I review in many different aspects, analyzing many qualities, I also provide my own opinions on ALL the good AND bad experiences I have with the product I review. I take time to learn and use a product as it was intended before I review it, and I have used this specific product thoroughly. My rating system: 5 - Met all my expectations. Was described and pictured perfectly. Exactly what I wanted and needed. Extremely useful product and a great value. Would recommend to family and friends. 4 - Very good product. Exactly as described. May have a minor flaw, mentioned in the review, that does not detract from the products perceived value. Would recommend to family and friends. 3 - Average product. Not exactly as described, or misleading advertising or product pictures. Possibly substandard build quality, or something else explained in the review. Would mention as an option to family and friends, but not recommend. 2 - Wouldn't recommend this product. Poor build quality, not close to being as described. Flimsy and fragile. Difficult to use due to product flaws. 1 - Do not purchase whatsoever. Usually only given if product lasts only a few hours/days/etc. I do not leave 1 star reviews without contacting the seller. I will be returning the product. I did NOT receive ANY discount for this product. I simply enjoy reviewing every one of my purchases.

If you seen the HBO series please get the book. I was lucky enough to meet Mr Winters and he was a truly wonderful man.

I really enjoyed the book very much. I have had the opportunity to spend a week at the Normandy beaches. Visiting the 101 Airborne Museum. I did not know when it was written, years ago it seems. My brother in law was in Viet Nam, made several combat jumps with 101st. He did not seem to appreciate the war and it affected him greatly in a negative manner. Moved away from civilization as far as he could. Winters, Nixon and others in the book seem to be good individuals. Many real tanks, and restored campsites make the experience feel very real to you. Looking forward to New Orleans and the WWII Museum 2025.

Notwithstanding the wonderful HBO miniseries based on this book, "Band of Brothers" is an entertaining and worthwhile read in its own right. Ambrose skilly fully weaves personal accounts from the paratroopers of E Company into a compelling story of the war in the European theater. Ambrose has earned his stripes as one of the premier historians of World War II, and with good reason. His writing style is easy to read, he does a great job of individualizing the large cast of characters and he masterfully sets his story within the context of the greater conflict without distracting the reader. All this makes the book essential reading for those watching the HBO miniseries. The miniseries is great cinema, but the medium is necessarily limited in how much background it can bring to each episode. After the first few episodes I started reading the book along with the show, and it helped me in distinguish the characters and orient what was happening. Also, the book gives you a greater understanding of why certain objectives were so critical to the war effort. When I've read the part of the book that corresponds to a new episode, I get to focus on the performances and visual aspects of the show. Reading the book only enhances the experience of watching the miniseries.

An incredible book. I couldn't stop reading it. Much better than the tv series, really worth reading and enjoying it

Las páginas se ven bien pero los bordes del libro no, se ve de mala calidad, espero que le guste a mi novio. Lo compré para regalo.

Great book, enjoyed even after watching the series three times.

An excellent read, everyone who's watched the film versions should read this. An amazing and inspiring true story.

Lo compré para regalo y la persona lo disfrutó mucho, las historias y las fotografías son sin duda maravillosas. El único detalle es el corte de las hojas que le da un aspecto pobre al libro. Ya había leído sobre el mismo problema en comentarios anteriores.
