Review Detail

Reader reviewed by bookworm9

This book follows the roles of a company of paratroopers during World War II, and really gets inside the characters (Ambrose did extensive interviews), the battles, and the-day-to-day stuff. It reads more like a novel than your typical, dry military non-fiction, and you really end up caring about a lot of the characters. For anyone who is in the process of watching the 2001 HBO mini-series of the same title (like me), has watched it, or is planning to watch it, this book is a must-read.
