5.0 out of 5 starsMore amazing back stories of a group of Heroes
By Paul Woodadge on May 4, 2010
Format: Hardcover
I have been part of an unofficial Band of Brothers network for nearly 10 years. In my job as a tour guide in Normandy I take people to locations made famous in the TV series and book and have spent the last decade assembling a collection of stories and character profiles of men from this now world famous company. Well with this new book and the author's others on the same unit, the back stories of many of the veterans are now available for fans all over the world to enjoy. The author's love and respect for the men he writes about shines forth in this book and his easy to follow warm writing style make this a joy to read. Knowing as I do some of the veterans and their families, I can tell you that they have been approached by all sorts of people to share their recollections over the years, and many have been turned away. Marcus however, has been welcomed into the Easy Company circle of friends and when you read the honest and profound stories the families have shared with him, you just know he enjoys their complete trust and respect. To have achieved that, and to have produced such a moving book from their anecdotes and interviews are testamnent to the author's sincerity and dedication.

The book is pitched at just the right level of detail too. We learn all about the men - their pre and post war lives, the lagacies they have left and we gain insight into their differing personalities, warts and all. Yet even when dealing with some of the negative aspects of their characters, Marcus maintains a dignified attitude. There is no sensationalising, no muck-raking and his prevailing respect for the veterans is commendable. You can also tell he has been selective with his retelling of anecdotes.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsA look behind the scenes at the Band of Brothers
By Elliot on May 4, 2010
Format: Hardcover
This is a great book that tells the stories of some of the surviving (and not surviving) members of the "Band of Bothers". This story is really touching as it tell about the backgrounds and life after the war of these different soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice to defend and protect America and her ways. The story is composed of four parts each taking a different section of the army and telling the story of some of the men who served in that specific part of the army. Part I: Enlisted Men, Part II: NCOs, Part III: Officers, Part IV: Easy Company's fallen.
The book contains twenty-six chapters and an epilogue. Each chapter is the story of a different soldier. Every story is recounted by a family member (sometimes more then one) which I think is a great way to do some research. These men are true heroes from my perspective: they sacrificed every thing they knew to fight for the freedom of America. We sometimes take our freedom for granted and it's really great to be reminded of these men who gave it to us.
One really good story is chapter 21 Part IV (1st sgt Bill Evans), I just really like this one part because it's a really good example of the sacrifice these men made: "I never met my great-uncle, as he was gone long before I was born [...] My grand-mother said he volunteered for the service so his brothers, who had children, might not have to go to war." This is a great example of sacrifice on Sgt Bill Evans part.
This is a must-read for anyone who has a family member who took part in WWII or who is interested by the subject of WWII.

5.0 out of 5 starsVignettes of our fathers and grandfathers - heroes of World War II
By M.S. Hennessy on May 11, 2010
Format: Hardcover
The author of two previous works recounting the lives of soldiers from World War II's famed Easy Company, Marcus Brotherton introduces the reader to those veterans whose stories had yet to be told in his latest effort, A Company of Heroes, a compilation of recollections shared by the families of 26 Easy Company veterans.

Having read the memoirs of well-known "E" Company members Major Richard Winters, co-authors Bill Guarnere and Babe Heffron, Donald Malarkey, and Lynn "Buck" Compton, as well as Brotherton's We Who Are Alive and Remain and several other related books, I still had a hunger to know more about who these men are or were. Brotherton has satisfied that need with A Company of Heroes, the title of which stemmed from a letter written by Sergeant Mike Ranney to Major Winters.

A Company of Heroes provides insight into the character of each man, beginning with their lives as boys, developing into young men through the challenges of the Great Depression and leading up to volunteering for the Army's paratroopers. Additional details regarding six of Easy Company's war-fallen are exposed as well, and in some cases, shedding new light on the manner in which they fell.

In 1945-46, when the soldiers returned to their homes and families, they were expected to integrate back into their lives, disregarding the years they spent away doing the unexplainable work of war. They attempted to pick up where they had left off, or begin their lives as adults, having been transformed into men on the field of battle. There were no debriefings or PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) screenings. No transition assistance programs. They simply received their mustering-out pay and news of a GI Bill.Read more ›
