  • "Easy Company, 506th Airborne Division, U.S. Army, was as good a rifle company as any in the world. From their rigorous training in Georgia in 1942 to D-Day and victory, Ambrose tells the story of this remarkable company which kept getting the tough assignments. Easy Company was responsbile for everything from parachuting into France early D-Day morning, to the capture of Hitler's Eagle's Nest at Berchtesgaden. It was a company that took the Purple Heart as a badge of office. Drawing on hours of interviews with survivors, as well as the solders' journals and letters, Ambrose tells us the stories, often in the men's own words, ofthese American heroes - container."

  • "From D-Day to victory in World War II with the men of Easy Company: Utah Beach, Market-Garden, the Bulge, and on to Hitler's Eagle's Nest in Berchtesgaden. They came together, citizen soldiers, in the summer of 1942, drawn to Airborne by the monthly bonus and a desire to be better than the other guy. And at its peak -- in Holland and the Ardennes -- Easy Company, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division, U.S. Army, was as good a rifle company as any in the world."
