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

Book Review: Fleshing out "Band of Brothers"
Summary: 4 Stars

I've watched and re-watched and own the mini-series, "Band of Brothers". It is an excellent effort at portraying Easy Company, the 'Band of Brothers' and
all that pertained to their exceptional experiences. I've read and re-read Ambrose's book on which the series was based. He's a fine writer and the book is a wonderful in-depth "overview" of all that went in to the forming and cementing of the Band of Brothers.
Major Dick Winter's "Beyond Band of Brothers" is also a fine read of personal memoirs and defines "why" Winters was so successful in his efforts during WWII. He gives, with good prose, his own perspective on war, leadership and soldiering. Those are sufficient reasons to read his book and the traits he personified hold true for today's warriors and combat leaders.
All readers should understand that no book can deliver on experience. Words, pictures and movies will not, as I'm sure we all understand, ever impact the observer in any way similar to the "participants". Those men (for the most part) who left their homes, families and careers to sacrifice some or all of their lives in the cause of world freedoms are the 'Greatest Generation'. Just 'reading' about them or 'listening' to them is an honor and education. The citizen soldiers are exactingly and lovingly described in Winter's book and I found it an excellent companion to the other books I have about Easy Company, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division and the heroes that made them such a "Band of Brothers".

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

Now in paperback! The New York Times bestseller and war memoir from the commander of the legendary Band of Brothers--now with a new preface from Dick Winters.

They were called Easy Company-but their mission was never easy. Immortalized as the Band of Brothers, they suffered 150% casualties while liberating Europe-an unparalleled record of bravery under fire. Winner of the Distinguished Service Cross, Dick Winters was their legendary commander. This is his story-told in his own words for the first time.

On D-Day, Winters assumed leadership of the Band of Brothers when its commander was killed and led them through the Battle of the Bulge and into Germany-by which time each member had been wounded. Based on Winters's wartime diary, Beyond Band of Brothers also includes his comrades' untold stories. This is a moving memoir by the man who earned the love and respect of Easy Company-and who is a hero to new generations worldwide.
