Band of Brothers Review

Several years ago HBO ran a miniseries based on the book, Band of Brothers.  This is an incredible series and if you have the opportunity you should watch it.  Band of Brothers details the actions of Easy Company of the 101st Airborne during WWII from the landings at Normandy through the capture of Hitler's Eagle's Nest.  This book was AMAZING!  I know, I'm a history buff and WWII buff, but I was completely fascinated reading this book.  The men in Easy Company were ordinary men with ordinary lives who were placed in extraordinary situations and rose to the challenge and are truly heroes.  I appreciated the fact that the author wrote a well-balanced history, war is never pretty.  Band of Brothers provides a unique perspective on a group of men during the War, and follows them through many of the major conflicts.  If you want to study a personalized account of how the War affected soldiers, this book would be perfect for you.
