Summary: A True Story About "Band of Brothers"
Comment: Stephen Ambrose successfully captured the moments of 101st Airborne. This book was dedicated to the soldiers who gave their lives during World War II. It followed the footsteps of E company, 506th Regiment, 101st Airborne or well known as the ¡§Screaming Eagles¡¨.
As a top elite parachute regiments, men in ¡§Easy¡¨ company had their toughest experience in their lives. They first met as a group in Camp Toccoa, Georgia. They all came from different places and background but with one goal ¡§to serve their country well¡¨. They later were sent to Europe to fight the ¡§Jerries¡¨ or the Germans. They parachuted through the sky of Normandy. They fought against time in Holland. They were in the freezing foxholes of Bastogne. They fought bravely as a group. They had heavy casualties. Brothers and friends were lost. They somehow survived through the harsh time of the war. It was because of these moments that the men of E company began to trust their brother soldiers and later became ¡§Band of Brothers¡¨.
The book told individual stories of E company. For example Major Richard Winter, who was basically the most incredible person of the whole company. He led the group with intelligence and ¡§common sense¡¨. He led the group through all the battles they went through and never forgetting his soldiers when raised for a higher rank. He gained more than just respect from the men of Easy. They had love like brotherhood which made them unique from other companies.
Stephen Ambrose recorded every action, operation or even patrols of Easy Company. The book is very detailed in every action taken, with colorful and exciting lines. Dialogues and social talk between men made me as the reader more into the actual battle. Different perspectives were written down to show the characteristic of each person.
There are pictures and maps in the book to make sure the reader follow along. The book is very ¡§real¡¨ side of the war. It showed the true feeling of soldiers trying to survive through harsh conditions. This book moved many readers including Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks who later made this book into an HBO TV series, ¡¥Band of Brothers¡¨.
I would recommend this book to people who are interesting in history of the 101st airborne and World War II. This book is simply a forgettable classic.

Summary: The HBO Mini Series is Better
Comment: Don't misunderstand: the book is great. But what Hanks and Speilberg did is magnificent. They did more thorough research, they created real-life characters and they bring you into the lives of Easy Company yourself.
Great book, worth reading, but the movie is much, much better.
