Band of Brothers

More about the book

Stephen Ambrose's classic work of military history, Band of Brothers, is now available in a new edition that is a companion to the September 2001 HBO ten-hour mini-series, executive-produced by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg. This edition includes cover art from the series, as well as a new foreword by Ambrose himself. Easy Company, one of the toughest rifle companies in the Army, was always being sent on the most important and dangerous assignments. Then, they were asked to parachute into occupied France in the early morning hours of D-Day, their ultimate goal the capture of Hitler's Eagle Nest at Berchtesgaden. Who were the intrepid men of Easy Company? Stephen Ambrose presents the soldiers' story in his legendary, compelling style.
