Book Reviews of Brothers In Battle, Best of Friends

Book Review: Brothers in Battle, Best of Friends
Summary: 5 Stars

I am a friend of Wild Bill's and have encouraged him several times to write a book or let me do it. I was thrilled that he finally did it. He is a national treasure. So much of his heroism actually came after the war and that is a little known story. This book is entertainin, enriching, enlightening. A must have for WWII readers.

Summary of Brothers In Battle, Best of Friends

Tom Hanks introduces the rousing story of two inseparable friends and soldiers portrayed in the HBO miniseries Band of Brothers.

William "Wild Bill" Guarnere and Edward "Babe" Heffron were among the first paratroopers of the U.S. Army-members of an elite unit of the 101st Airborne Division called Easy Company. Arguably the bravest, most efficient, physically fit, and tight-knit group of soldiers the Army has ever produced, the unit was called upon for every high-risk operation of the war, including D-Day, Operation Market Garden in Holland, the Battle of the Bulge, and the capture of Hitler's Eagle's Nest in Berchtesgaden.

Both fought side-by-side-until Guarnere lost his leg in the Battle of the Bulge nd was sent home. Heffron went on to liberate concentration camps and rake Hitler's Eagle's Nest hideout. United by their experience, the two reconnected at the war's end and have been the best of friends ever since. Their story is a tribute to the lasting bond forged between comrades in arms-and to all those who fought for freedom.
