Beyond Band of Brothers: The War Memoirs of Major Dick Winters

Beyond Band of Brothers: The War Memoirs of Major Dick Winters

â€œTells the tales left untold by Stephen Ambrose, whose Band of Brothers was the inspiration for the HBO miniseries...laced with Wintersâ€™s soldierly exaltations of pride in his comradesâ€™ bravery.â€â€”Publishers Weekly
Â
They were called Easy Companyâ€”but their mission was never easy. Immortalized as the Band of Brothers, they suffered 150% casualties while liberating Europeâ€”an unparalleled record of bravery under fire. Winner of the Distinguished Service Cross, Dick Winters was their legendary commander. This is his storyâ€”told in his own words for the first time.
Â
On D-Day, Winters assumed leadership of the Band of Brothers when its commander was killed and led them through the Battle of the Bulge and into Germanyâ€”by which time each member had been wounded. Based on Wintersâ€™s wartime diary, Beyond Band of Brothers also includes his comradesâ€™ untold stories. Virtually none of this material appeared in Stephen Ambroseâ€™s Band of Brothers. Neither a protest against nor a glamorization of war, this is a moving memoir by the man who earned the love and respect of the men of Easy Companyâ€”and who is a hero to new generations worldwide.
