About this listen
Easy Company, 506th Airborne Division, U.S. Army, was as good a rifle company as any in the world. From their rigorous training in Georgia in 1942 to D-Day and victory, Ambrose tells the story of this remarkable company, which kept getting the tough assignments. Easy Company was responsible for everything from parachuting into France early D-Day morning to the capture of Hitler's Eagle's Nest at Berchtesgaden.
Band of Brothers is the account of the men of this remarkable unit who fought, went hungry, froze, and died, a company that took 150 percent casualities and considered the Purple Heart a badge of office. Drawing on hours of interviews with survivors as well as the soldiers' journals and letters, Stephen Ambrose tell the stories - often in the men's own words - of these American hereoes.

Amazing by itself, essential as companion
Great narration and timing, and the source material is amazing. Listened to it after I watched band of brothers but would be better before watching it seems. The stories we are privledged enough to hear in this are world class, inspiring, and heart breaking. Thanks for your service E Company of the 501st airborne.

Excellent from start to finish
The narration fit the story and its a great in-depth look at the HBO series. A must listen if you're interested in world war 2. I'd recommend the book before the HBO series if you have the choice.

Fantastic but slightly text booky
A fascinating, thrilling, sad, and overall amazing story. Can feel like a textbook at times

A Timeless WWII History Piece
I have seen the HBO series several times and never lost my love for this fantastic piece of WWII history. I finally listened to the book and was surprised to see how closely the HBO series accurately reflects the book's story. Some pleasant surprises were in the book that could not be conveyed on the TV series. There is nothing more fascinating and humbling than the stories of WWII veterans from all sides, and this book will live for the ages.
