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

Product Information

Winters' friend, the historian Stephen E. Ambrose wrote a great book about Easy Company's accomplishments. It takes a broad view of the war and the company as a whole. Then there are memoirs by other company members, such as non-commissioned officer Sergeant Donald G. Malarkey, which focuses much more on the men, their personalities and individual achievements. Winter's book is somewhere in between. The Irish Charts – All there is to know > Search results for 'Brother Beyond' " . Retrieved 16 March 2017.

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 During the 1990s, Winters was featured in a number of books and television series about his experiences and those of the men in Easy Company. In 1992, Stephen Ambrose wrote the book Band of Brothers: Easy Company, 506th Regiment, 101st Airborne from Normandy to Hitler's Eagle's Nest, which was subsequently turned into an HBO mini-series Band of Brothers, with Damian Lewis portraying Winters. [3] Although the writing style of Kingseed does not attain the level of more renowned authors, he still manages to paint a very good picture of who Winters was. In the end I felt that the author might have done a better job at filtering the book to prevent certain repetetive statements. If It were possible, I would have given it a 4.5 star review, but being a huge band of brothers admirer, I felt it didn't deserve a 4 star rating and opted for 5 instead. When a soldier is subjected to a concentrated bombardment, he often finds himself bouncing on the ground from the force of the concussion. The big problem for a leader is keeping his wits and not freezing in fear—being able to think and, as soon as possible, talking to the men, and getting them to get up and think. The intensity of artillery fire over a protracted period has a dramatic impact on a unit in combat.”

All of us had lost our leg bags containing most of our weapons in the initial blast when we exited the plane. Why we were experimenting with leg bags on this jump when we had never rehearsed with them during training was beyond me.
