**THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER**
Foreword by Tom Hanks.
The book that inspired Steven Spielberg’s acclaimed TV series, and its sequel, Masters of the Air.

In Band of Brothers, Stephen E. Ambrose pays tribute to the men of Easy Company, a crack rifle company in the US Army. From their rigorous training in Georgia in 1942 to the dangerous parachute landings on D-Day and their triumphant capture of Hitler’s ‘Eagle’s Nest’ in Berchtesgaden. Ambrose tells the story of this remarkable company. Repeatedly send on the toughest missions, these brave men fought, went hungry, froze and died in the service of their country. Celebrating the 25th anniversary since the original publication, this reissue contains a new foreword from Tom Hanks who was an executive producer on the award-winning HBO series.

A tale of heroic adventures and soul-shattering confrontations, Band of Brothers brings back to life, as only Stephen E. Ambrose can, the profound ties of brotherhood forged in the barracks and on the battlefields.

‘History boldly told and elegantly written . . . Gripping’ Wall Street Journal

‘Ambrose proves once again he is a masterful historian . . . spellbinding’ People

    Just started watching this series again after going through the new 'Masters of the Sky'. Pleasantly surprised how much I'd forgotten so I could experience it again in all of its glory.

    For those interested in British involvement. Mr Ambrose does a book on Pegasus Bridge primarily focused on the Paras which is worthy of a read.

    Different breed of men all these chaps.

    What did you think to Masters of the Air? I watched the first episode but haven't been back to it yet

    Good mate. Have a new found admiration for the air forces- particulaly the bomber crews. Essentially sitting ducks doing daytime raids. Without spoiling it too much one of the episodes highlights of 17 that set off 16 were shot down.

    Read a few of those ''Forgotten Voices" books and thought the navy and Air Force had it somewhat easier as they referred to enemy planes and ships as 'targets'. Whereas the groundforces were surrounded by harrowing experiences all of the time.

    Can't imagine the anxiety of those bombing crews just before being sent out.
