Ebook About Stephen E. Ambrose’s classic New York Times bestseller and inspiration for the acclaimed HBO series about Easy Company, the ordinary men who became the World War II’s most extraordinary soldiers at the frontlines of the war's most critical moments. Featuring a foreword from Tom Hanks.They came together, citizen soldiers, in the summer of 1942, drawn to Airborne by the $50 monthly bonus and a desire to be better than the other guy. And at its peak—in Holland and the Ardennes—Easy Company was as good a rifle company as any in the world.From the rigorous training in Georgia in 1942 to the disbanding in 1945, Stephen E. Ambrose tells the story of this remarkable company. In combat, the reward for a job well done is the next tough assignment, and as they advanced through Europe, the men of Easy kept getting the tough assignments.They parachuted into France early D-Day morning and knocked out a battery of four 105 mm cannon looking down Utah Beach; they parachuted into Holland during the Arnhem campaign; they were the Battered Bastards of the Bastion of Bastogne, brought in to hold the line, although surrounded, in the Battle of the Bulge; and then they spearheaded the counteroffensive. Finally, they captured Hitler's Bavarian outpost, his Eagle's Nest at Berchtesgaden.They were rough-and-ready guys, battered by the Depression, mistrustful and suspicious. They drank too much French wine, looted too many German cameras and watches, and fought too often with other GIs. But in training and combat they learned selflessness and found the closest brotherhood they ever knew. They discovered that in war, men who loved life would give their lives for them. This is the story of the men who fought, of the martinet they hated who trained them well, and of the captain they loved who led them. E Company was a company of men who went hungry, froze, and died for each other, a company that took 150 percent casualties, a company where the Purple Heart was not a medal—it was a badge of office.Book Band of Brothers: E Company, 506th Regiment, 101st Airborne from Normandy to Hitler's Eagle's Nest Review :
When it comes to books written about war, I tend to enjoy the high-level ones that give overviews of the big picture and don’t go into too much detail. Usually, the more detail, the more I get lost. So when I read a book about the intricacies of a battle along with names of soldiers, names of towns, names of divisions, etc. I tend to get lost and overwhelmed.This book seemed to be about 50/50, as it focuses not on the overall big picture of World War II, yet a select group of Airborne infantry – The Easy Company of the 101st Airborne division. Back in the thick of the war around 1942, someone had a bizarre idea: Why not have a host of soldiers jump out of an airplane with a parachute right into the thick of battle? This sort of idea is only for the toughest of the tough, and when the soldiers begin their training, they don’t actually see combat until D-Day. There’s a lot of preparation for such a tactic.Once we’re in battle with Easy Company (in addition to D-Day, the other major skirmishes they jump into are Market Garden and the Battle of the Bulge), the author manages to keep the story more focused on the human element of battle as opposed to strategies and objectives. This is mostly a good thing. It’s good because it makes a much more compelling story. It’s not good because a ‘compelling story’ doesn’t mean it’s a happy story. This is a war. In fact, I’ve never read a book that describes the horrors of the battlefield quite like this one. Yes, there’s the horror of bullets flying over your head at all times and seeing your best friends killed in front of your eyes, but there’s also the horror of lack of food, dysentery, weeks of living in filth, and foot ware so inadequate that your forced to endure soaking wet feet in subzero snow. It’s impossible for men to live through this without changes to the fragile psyche.Strangely, I never felt connected to anyone in particular in this book. The cast of characters in this drama is huge, and it was incredibly hard for me to keep track of who was who. Some names stayed consistent throughout the book, but in a war, sadly, a lot of men get killed, so it seemed that every pause in the action meant that there were several fresh faces and names for the reader to assimilate. Again though, this wasn’t a detriment. Suffering is suffering, no matter whose name is attached to it.Easy Company also plays a pivotal role in the eventual capitulation of Berlin in 1945. The European war is over, and the soldiers go way off the deep end with their alcohol intake and debauchery. Things get very uncomfortable in some circumstances. Too much whisky and guns don’t mix well. As I mentioned, though, such inhumane conditions cause one’s spirit to become tragically altered. Why should soldiers care about kicking a German family out of their house so they can live in relative comfort? Wherever this family ends up won’t be nearly as bad what they endured for months in a slimy fox hole. And it WAS their side that started the bleeding war. So….I came away with tremendous respect for any solider that has ever been in combat. True, that respect has always been there for me, but when a tale is told with such gripping realism, it makes you appreciate the sacrifice all the more. Kudos, also, to Stephen Ambrose for telling the tale so well. The TV mini-series “Band of Brothers” is the absolute best historical WW2 drama ever made and I never get tired of watching it. The TV mini-series is very good adaptation of the book, but the book BAND OF BROTHERS is still an interesting and informative read since it fills in the gap on events and subjects that the TV mini-series could not or barely covered. For example, the book addresses the “Why?” Why risk your life to collect souvenirs from enemy bodies? Why go AWOL from a hospital to return to your unit on the frontline? Why loot the homes of civilians? Why weren’t supplies (e.g., soap, cigarettes, beer, candy) not making its way to the front line?If you ever served in the military, you’ll recognize yourself and others in BAND OF BROTHERS; especially the officers. There are good officers, but it’s the bad officers that you never forget. Command leadership during wartime is difficult and unforgiving if an officer is not up to the task and does not have the respect of those under his command. BAND OF BROTHERS should be required reading at the military academies, ROTC classes, and OCS. The leadership of Major Dick Winters is what every officer should attempt to emulate.BAND OF BROTHERS is unique because it gives the readers an insider’s look at the formation, organization, training, operation, tactics, leadership, comradeship, etc. of a small combat unit from its inception to the end of the war. BAND OF BROTHERS takes the reader on a very revealing three-year personal journey through World War 2. The PTSD that these men went through after World War 2 changed them forever. Stephen Ambrose gives closure to the book by telling what happened 50 years later to those who returned home.BAND OF BROTHERS revealed to me that the movie “Saving Private Ryan” was based on Fritz Niland of the 101st Airborne Division who fought on D-Day. Niland’s two brothers died on D-Day and a third brother was presumed KIA in Burma (later found to be a POW). After the deaths of his brothers, Niland was ordered from combat and returned home.
