Summary

They were called Easy Company, but their mission was never easy. Immortalized as the Band of Brothers, they suffered 150 percent casualties while liberating Europe - an unparalleled record of bravery under fire. Dick Winters was their commander. This is his story, based on his wartime diary and told in his own words for the first time. Neither a war protest nor a glamorization of combat, this is a moving tribute to the human spirit by a man who earned the love and respect of his men and the adulation of new generations worldwide.
