Editorial Review:
Product Description:
They were called Easy Company-but their mission was never easy. Immortalized as the Band of Brothers, they suffered 150% casualties while liberating Europe-an unparalleled record of bravery under fire. Dick Winters was their commander-"the best combat leader in World War II" to his men. This is his story-told in his own words for the first time.
On D-Day, Dick Winters parachuted into France and assumed leadership of the Band of Brothers when their commander was killed. He led them through the Battle of the Bulge and into Germany, by which time each member had been wounded. They liberated an S.S. death camp from the horrors of the Holocaust and captured Berchtesgaden, Hitler's alpine retreat. After briefly serving during the Korean War, Winters was a highly successful businessman. Made famous by Stephen Ambrose's book Band of Brothers--and the subsequent award-winning HBO miniseries--he is the object of worldwide adulation.
Beyond Band of Brothers is Winters's memoir-based on his wartime diary-but it also includes his comrades' untold stories. Virtually all this material is being released for the first time. Only Winters was present from the activation of Easy Company until the war's end. Winner of the Distinguished Service Cross, only he could pen this moving tribute to the human spirit.

- EXCELLENT!Great book from a great man! Pretty much is Band of Brothers just told by the main character. I don't feel it added too much, but his first hand account was nice. Highly recommend this book.

- Leadership for DummiesIf you liked the HBO miniseries "Band of Brothers", you'll absolutely love Major Dick Winters' personal account of his experiences in Easy Company, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment. This first person account by no means contradicts the miniseries in any serious way but rather fills in some gaps that have heretofore remained unanswered.
Did silencing the German artillery at Brecourt Manor have any real impact on Utah Beach? Just why did Winters attack two companies of German SS soldiers ... Read More
