      A Company Of Heroes
    • From Marcus Brotherton, co-author of Call of Duty, comes a new collection of untold stories from the Band of Brothers. They were the men of the now-legendary Easy Company. After almost two years of hard training, they parachuted into Normandy on D-Day and, later, Operation Market Garden. They fought their way through Belgium, France, and Germany, survived overwhelming odds, liberated concentration camps, and drank a victory toast in April 1945 at Hitler's hideout in the Alps. Here, revealed for the first time, are stories of war, sacrifice, and courage as experienced by one of the most revered combat units in military history. In We Who Are Alive and Remain, twenty men who were there and are alive today—and the families of three deceased others—recount the horrors and the victories, the bonds they made, the tears and blood they shed...and the brothers they lost.

    • "In my day, when World War II broke out, you would be embarrassed to be on the streets without a uniform on. The country was totally unified, and we never questioned serving. If we weren't going to defend our country, who would?" -Buck Compton. As part of the elite 101st Airborne paratroopers, Lieutenant Lynn 'Buck' Compton fought in critical battles like Normandy and Market-Garden, and endured the harsh winter in Bastogne. Easy Company, known as the Band of Brothers, symbolizes brotherhood and bravery under fire. Buck Compton shares his journey, illustrating how the skills and discipline he developed as a young man laid the groundwork for his selflessness during the deadliest conflict of the twentieth century. From being a two-sport UCLA star who played baseball with Jackie Robinson and football in the Rose Bowl to a postwar career as a prosecutor, where he helped convict Sirhan Sirhan for the murder of Robert F. Kennedy, Buck embodies the American dream: athlete, combat veteran, detective, attorney, judge. This memoir is a testament to courage, leadership, camaraderie, compassion, and the unique opportunities for success in America. "A refreshingly frank memoir." -Military.com "Out of all the officers in Easy Company, Buck was closest to the guys." -Edward 'Babe' Heffron. "I could never say enough to express my thanks and admiration for Buck Compton." -William 'Wild Bill' Guarnere.
