About the book
Major Dick Winters, one of the major characters in the HBO miniseries 'Band of Brothers' tells his story of World War II from the pages of his wartime diary. He also gives detailed accounts of what happened to many of the men of Easy Company after the war. Combat can serve to bring out the best in men and Winters tells exactly how good, well-trained men reacted to rapidly changing situations and environments under remarkably difficult circumstances. His summation, a discourse on leadership, is well worth serious study. Few men have had the privilege of serving in as many major engagements with as much success as Dick Winters and fewer still can communicate what they learned as well as he does in this book.
