Book summary

Biographer and historian recounts the lives and adventures of a single World War II infantry unit, the "Easy Company" of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment. E-Company saw more than its share of action: they parachuted behind enemy lines at the Battle of Normandy and Operation Market Garden, fought at the Battle of the Bulge, discovered concentration camps, and were among the soldiers to capture Hitler's Eagle's Nest. The book is filled with vivid narrative detail, and also includes interviews with the veterans of E-Company, adding a distinctly human flavor to the rich military history. Ambrose's book was later adapted into an award-winning television mini-series produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks.
