About this listen
Easy Company, 506th Airborne Division, U.S. Army, was as good a rifle company as any in the world. From their rigorous training in Georgia in 1942 to D-Day and victory, Ambrose tells the story of this remarkable company, which kept getting the tough assignments. Easy Company was responsible for everything from parachuting into France early D-Day morning to the capture of Hitler's Eagle's Nest at Berchtesgaden.
Band of Brothers is the account of the men of this remarkable unit who fought, went hungry, froze, and died, a company that took 150 percent casualities and considered the Purple Heart a badge of office. Drawing on hours of interviews with survivors as well as the soldiers' journals and letters, Stephen Ambrose tell the stories - often in the men's own words - of these American hereoes.

As good as it gets
Would you consider the audio edition of Band of Brothers to be better than the print version?
No
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
The building of a cohesive unit and the value placed on training and preperation prior to battle.
Sick to death of the American ‘limey bashing) i am sure if 1 - 6 Airborne had the amount of time to train as E Coy had they I think we would be writing about them (and perhaps should be). You need only to look at the recruits that came after to prove this and this is the same for all organisations under pressure.
Have you listened to any of Tim Jerome’s other performances? How does this one compare?
No
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Winters sounds to me like an outstanding indivicual - I have had the pleasure of meeting a few and would follow them to the end of the world.
Any additional comments?
Great audio book (less the comments on the British) and finished in record time - really enjoyed it.

Superb
A well wrote and often hard to believe history of Easy Company. I like that it also gives the after service account of many . Very well read and very hard to put down.

Fantastic!
An exceptional book in virtually every aspect, narrator's pronunciation of place names needed help.

fills in a lot of gaps the tv series couldn't show
the real life stories that the show was based on - important for the individual to read to understand war and the people who survived it.

Amazing story covered well.
As a British person, I was disappointed that all British soldiers were made out to be idiots with upper class accents.
