Matthew Longue offers us a complete story and detailed analysis of the course to battle the 2nd Battalion of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne, and the main feats of arms to the world famous Easy Company "Band of Brothers," with the support of veterans and other specialists. In the company of paratroopers, the reader will follow closely, their training before ending up in the heart of the fighting in Normandy, Holland, the Ardennes and Alsace, and reliving the tragic moments as dark as a glorious page in the history of the US Army in World War II.The book contains many descriptions and flowcharts informing us about the composition of units and giving precise information on the weapons and equipment used by US paratroopers of that time.
