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.

- Fleshing out "Band of Brothers"I've watched and re-watched and own the mini-series, "Band of Brothers". It is an excellent effort at portraying Easy Company, the 'Band of Brothers' and
all that pertained to their exceptional experiences. I've read and re-read Ambrose's book on which the series was based. He's a fine writer and the book is a wonderful in-depth "overview" of all that went in to the forming and cementing of the Band of Brothers.
Major Dick Winter's "Beyond Band of Brothers" is also a fine read of personal ... Read More

- Excellent ReadI've seen the Band of Brothers miniseries and was anxious to get this book and read it. It didn't disappoint! Dick Winters insights were remarkable and provided exceptional depth to the decision making process he used during the war. He continuously shy's away from taking any credit for victories, instead opting to give the credit for success to the men under him. What does come through, notwithstanding his attempts to minimize his own actions, is that he was one of the men. At least up until he took ... Read More

- Very good and educational.Dick Winter's Beyond Band of Brothers: The War Memories of Major Dick Winters is an exceptional look at three extremely interesting and important subjects in American History and everyday life:
1) America's role in the Second World War, 2) one man's journey through the war, and lastly, 3) the subject of leadership.
I really enjoyed this stirring book mainly because Dick Winters, who commanded Easy Company, or better known as The Band of Brothers, presents ... Read More

- My grandparents' generation continues to amaze meMajor Dick Winters lead Easy Company from the marshes of Normandy to Bavaria and eventually Austria. What this group of men did during the Second World War is nothing short of a miracle. Maj. Winters writes mostly about his men and only rarely refers to himself. What glimpses he does give us shows what a remarkable leader and man of character he was and still is today. We all owe the men of Easy Company and everyone who fought in The War every bit of respect and gratitude they have earned.

- Great follow up to Band of BrothersMy husband is a history buff and read three books on our Mediterranean cruise three weeks ago. This was one of them. He could hardly put it down to enjoy the sea.
