Stephen E. Ambrose wrote an amazing, exciting, unforgettable story about World War 2 called Band Of Brothers. It is based on the men of Easy Company and their experience since the invasion in Normandy (France) to Hitler’s Eagles Nest in Berlin. This story is based on true events and true lives. The marine paratroopers jump off the airplanes during D-Day, some ready for combat, and some not ready. Either way they fought for days without sleep, the marines managed to take France. Already the marines had lost about 4000 men in the invasion and 2000 taking France. Capt. Winters, one of the leaders of Easy Company was called a “Quaker”, because he didn’t drink or smoke, Capt. Winters was a great soldier, he was always calm and quite but when he had to fight and take action he was another person a meaner, a more active person he was always the one that lead the way. So he faces problems along the way trying to find his company after landing in the wrong combat zone. He encounters many Germans along the way, alone without a weapon, because it had fallen out of his bag while jumping out the plane, he sneaks passed them without them knowing. He had finally reunited with his men and his best friend Richard Nixon in a German outpost the Americans had taken. Many things went wrong in D-Day but they had won the fight, it had been successful. Easy Company had started to go inside Holland ready for another war.
Band Of Brothers, one of many books of World War 2 that show affection and emotion in the characters because they all are caring for one another. Stephen E. Ambrose has made many books about World War 2. Like one called D-Day which it about every detail of D-Day and not just the point of view of the paratroopers, also what happened in the days of training camp. Stephen E. Ambrose passed away in October 2002, but left many books that people still read and enjoy now days to realize what happened in 1944 to 1945.
