'We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he to-day that sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother' - King Henry V.
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 Berchtesgarden, Amborse 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.A tale of heroic adventures and soul-shattering conformations, Band of Brothers brings to life, as only Stephen E. Ambrose can, the profound ties of brotherhood forged in the barracks and on the battlefields.
Band of Brothers is also a ten-part television World War II miniseries based on Stephen Ambrose book. It was executive produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks after their successful collaboration on the Academy Award-winning World War II film Saving Private Ryan (1998). The episodes first aired in 2001 on HBO and is still run frequently on various TV networks around the world.
