Summary: The Other "Band of Brothers"
Comment: If you have read and enjoyed Band of Brothers by Steven Ambrose and/or have seen the HBO mini-series, then this book is a must read! The author, David Kenyon Webster, is one of the "Band of Brothers" and is the main character in episode eight, "The Last Patrol". This book is a fast paced, sometimes humorous, and often moving account of the late Mr. Webster's experiences during WW II. If you can imagine reading "Band of Brothers" had it been wriiten by one of the participants, that will give you an idea of what this book is like. Some elements of the Band of Brothers mini-series were obviously taken directly from Mr. Webster's book, and I thought he should have received more recognition in the credits.
On another note, Mr. Webster could not get this book published while he was alive, because back then, publishers were looking for more "sensational" fictional war novels. What could be more sensational than jumping into France on D-day or jumping into Holland during Operation: Market-Garden? It was not published until 1994 during the revived public interest in WW II triggered by the 50th anniversery of D-Day.
Thank you Mr. Webster - we are in your debt!

Summary: Excellent Read!!!
Comment: For those of you who don't know...David Webster is one of the characters featured in Spielberg and Hanks HBO series Band of Brothers (Originally an great book by Steven Ambrose) He's real, he's a gold brick and makes no effort to hide it. Webster's memoir has reached a place no other WWII book has with me. He conveys a realistic range of wartime emotions whether making the jump on D-Day, Hiding from the probing fingers of German Flak 88 artillery or the simple pleasures of outpost duty. This book is a must read for anyone interested in the airborne let alone the life of a soldier at wartime. This book is hard to set down!!!
