Publisher's Summary

“Tells the tales left untold by Stephen Ambrose, whose Band of Brothers was the inspiration for the HBO miniseries…laced with Winters’s soldierly exaltations of pride in his comrades’ bravery.”—Publishers Weekly

In war, great commanders lead soldiers into hell to do the impossible.

They were called Easy Company—but their mission was never easy. Immortalized as the Band of Brothers, they suffered huge casualties while liberating Europe in an unparalleled record of bravery under fire. Dick Winters led them through the Battle of the Bulge, the attack on Foy—where Easy Company reached its breaking point—and finally into Germany, by which time each member had been wounded. Outside Munich, they liberated an SS death camp and captured Berchtesgaden, Hitler’s alpine retreat.

Beyond Band of Brothers is Winters’s memoir, based on his wartime diary, but it also includes his comrades’ untold stories. Only Winters was present from the activation of Easy Company until the war’s end. This is their story, told in his words for the first time.

Amazing History of Easy Company

Hearing the story of Easy company (Band of Brother's fame) from this personal perspective was truly heartwarming. The highs and lows described complete the full picture of the contribution that Easy Company played during WW2. I feel I know each member just a little bit better and I am truly humbled to live in the peace they helped secure. Thank you for your service one and all.

Excellent

If you have watched Band of Brothers or read the book by AMBROSE, then this is a must hear. Mr. Winters attention to detail and historical anchoring of stories to events was impeccable. It was easy to follow and clearly narrated, the only fly in the ointment was the odd voice acting for qouting historical figures or other persons by the narrator.

Inspirational!

The men and women of the Greates Generation set a high standard or courage, determination, toughness, and morality that I fear we are not able to meet during our turbulent times. We need more people who are like Dick Winters.
