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.
Both my parents were involved in World War II, (mother, was an English WAC, and father American, Air Force). My father received a Bronze Star for keeping the various Air Bases electricity working. So I can very much appreciated what this book tells us. There were many such relationships between soldiers during both European war (ETO) and the Pacific war (PTO). But there are also thoughts special group of soldiers that achieve such an effective relationship between men, soldier to soldier, that nothing but death will tear them apart. Easy Company was that sort of soldiers. If you have any interest in WWII.......will these men were something special. Please read this book. It's true.
I fell in love with the men of easy company watching the HBO miniseries. They became my heores, knights in shining armor, the bar to which all men are judged. I finally got around to reading this book, and it only strengthened how I felt about them & how much we as a people owe them. The characters are just as vivid as you would want them to be. The action was breath stealing. I was so emotionally invested, that my heart broke when someone died and I found myself wanting to jump in and help Eugene Roe! 2 thumbs up!
Band Of Brothers tells the story of Easy Company, 506 Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne. From their disastrous drop behind German lines on D-Day and how well they coped with said drop to their capture of Hitler's Eagle's Nest. Told through interviews with surviving members of Easy Company of their days from boot camp to the end of the war. It is a stirring account of friendship and brotherhood amidst the horrors of war. This is not a book that glorifies war, but instead glorifies the men who fight and those who make the ultimate sacrifice for their country. The companion to this book, "The Pacific", is every bit as good as "Band Of Brothers", and both books should be a must read for every single person on the face of the Earth, so that the horror of war and the men, mostly mere boys, who are sent to fight them, should never have to endure war ever again. I guarantee that if the so called "Leaders of the Nations of the World" had to do the fighting, war would quickly become a thing of the past.
Best WWII book ever. I like the fact that Stephen Ambrose the Author of the book interviewed so many of the soldiers portrayed in the book as well as visited some of the battlefields with them. It brings home the bravery and sacrifices of my parents generation during WWII. I will be surprised if any other future historical event will bring out the qualities shown by Americans during that tragic time in history. I read the book after watching the series and found the series followed the book very closely. Cannot think of any negative things about the book and recommend both the book and the made for TV Series on Amazon Prime.
I bought this book, Kindle edition, for a WWII history class. I loved it! I would recommend this to anyone! I myself was not a huge history fan, but I liked this so much I watch the HBO series after reading it. Talk about gaining a greater understanding and respect for our soldiers and what their lives were like. This should be a required read in high schools.
My Dad was in WW2 and this time in history fascinates me. This is one of the best portrayals of war ever made They don't glamorize it or make all the guys out to be heroes. They show all the ugly sides of what these men went through. Excellent mini series and I would recommend it to anyone interested in WW2 era history. I would only caution that it is not for the squeamish or for kids.
