Al miljoenen lezers volgden de heldendaden van het 101st Airborne, de Easy Company die bij het grote publiek bekendstaat als Band of Brothers. Nu, ruim vijfenzestig jaar later, reist de gelouterde journalist Larry Alexander naar de slagvelden van toen, naar alle plekken die een legende maakten van Easy Company. Samen met sergeant Forrest Guth, een veteraan uit Easy Company, treedt hij in de voetsporen van de Band of Brothers en onderzoekt waarom de levens van die mannen zelfs vandaag de dag nog zoveel indruk maken op de mensen die over hen lezen.Van Aldbourne tot Brecourt Manor in Normandië; van de mislukking van Operatie Market Garden tot de slagvelden van Bastogne in Frankrijk elke door Easy Company geleverde strijd was een bewijs van hun ijzeren discipline en hun vastberadenheid de Europese volken te bevrijden.In de voetsporen van Band of Brothers is het reisdagboek van een van de mijlpalen in de Europese geschiedenis en een onvergetelijk gedenkteken voor de soldaten die niet terugkeerden.

Stephen E. Ambrose’s classic New York Times bestseller and inspiration for the acclaimed HBO series about Easy Company, the ordinary men who became the World War II’s most extraordinary soldiers at the frontlines of the war's most critical moments. Featuring a foreword from Tom Hanks. They came together, citizen soldiers, in the summer of 1942, drawn to Airborne by the $50 monthly bonus and a desire to be better than the other guy. And at its peak—in Holland and the Ardennes—Easy Company was as good a rifle company as any in the world. From the rigorous training in Georgia in 1942 to the disbanding in 1945, Stephen E. Ambrose tells the story of this remarkable company. In combat, the reward for a job well done is the next tough assignment, and as they advanced through Europe, the men of Easy kept getting the tough assignments. They parachuted into France early D-Day morning and knocked out a battery of four 105 mm cannon looking down Utah Beach; they parachuted into Holland during the Arnhem campaign; they were the Battered Bastards of the Bastion of Bastogne, brought in to hold the line, although surrounded, in the Battle of the Bulge; and then they spearheaded the counteroffensive. Finally, they captured Hitler's Bavarian outpost, his Eagle's Nest at Berchtesgaden. They were rough-and-ready guys, battered by the Depression, mistrustful and suspicious. They drank too much French wine, looted too many German cameras and watches, and fought too often with other GIs. But in training and combat they learned selflessness and found the closest brotherhood they ever knew. They discovered that in war, men who loved life would give their lives for them. This is the story of the men who fought, of the martinet they hated who trained them well, and of the captain they loved who led them. E Company was a company of men who went hungry, froze, and died for each other, a company that took 150 percent casualties, a company where the Purple Heart was not a medal—it was a badge of office.

Tijdens de aanval op de stranden van Normandië nam Dick Winters het commando van Easy Company over, het 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment. Hij leidde hen langs de grote veldslagen van de oorlog en de verovering van Hitlers Adelaarsnest, en klom op tot de rang van majoor. Nadat hij en zijn soldaten vereeuwigd waren in Stephen Ambrose’ Band of Brothers en de gelijknamige tv-serie van Steven Spielberg, verbreekt Dick Winters voor het eerst in zestig jaar het zwijgen om zijn verhaal te vertellen. Grote delen van Voorbij Band of Brothers zijn gebaseerd op privémateriaal van Dick Winters zelf en zijn medestrijders. Het boek bevat ook unieke foto’s uit zijn persoonlijke collectie. Richard ‘Dick’ Winters (1918) ontving voor zijn daden als leider van Easy Company het Distinguished Service Cross. Hij diende nog in de Koreaanse oorlog en stortte zich daarna op een carrière als zakenman.

Darrell Powers, bij zijn soldatenbroeders beter bekend als Shifty, groeide op in Virginia. Zijn grootste droom was de allerbeste schutter ter wereld te worden en hij en zijn vader oefenden jarenlang in `blind schieten : het `voelen van de omgeving en daarnaar handelen. Ze konden geen van beiden weten dat dat bijna bovennatuurlijke vermogen later Shifty s eigen leven en dat van zijn vrienden zou redden.Eenmaal soldaat en met Easy Company op weg naar de slagvelden van de Tweede Wereldoorlog, realiseert Shifty zich dat hij al zijn vaardigheden nodig zal hebben om deze bloedige strijd te overleven. Marcherend over de velden van Frankrijk en Duitsland, gedreven door de wil om Europa te redden van het kwaad, dringt ondanks alle angst en pijn tot hem door dat hij met zijn Band of Brothers een diepe band smeedt die tot hun dood stand zal houden.

From D-Day to the Battle of the Bulge and more, here is the authorized biography of one of the most celebrated paratroopers of Easy Company, Sergeant Shifty Powers, the legendary sharpshooter from the Band of Brothers. Look for the Band of Brothers miniseries, now available to stream on Netflix! As a boy, Darrell “Shifty” Powers’s goal was to become the best rifle shot he could be. His father trained him to listen to the woods, to “see” without his eyes. Little did Shifty know his finely-tuned skills would one day save his life—and the lives of his fellow paratroopers. As one of the original men who trained at Camp Toccoa, Georgia, Shifty was one out of only two soldiers in Easy Company to initially earn the coveted expert marksman designation. He parachuted into France on D-day and fought for a month in Normandy; eighty days in Holland; thirty-nine in the harshly cold winter of Bastogne; and for nearly thirty more near Haguenau, France, and the Ruhr pocket in Germany. Shifty’s War is a tale of heroism and adventure, of a soldier’s blood-filled days fighting his way fromthe shores of France to the heartland of Germany, and the epic story of how one man’s skills as a sharpshooter and engagingly unassuming personality propelled him to a life greater than he could have ever imagined.

SILVER EAGLE', het waargebeurd verhaal van Clancy Lyall. Veteraan van de Band of Brothers werd geschreven door Clancy's goede vriend Ronald Ooms. Na de Japanse verrassingsaanval op Pearl Harbor en het onmiddellijk vertrek van alle jonge mannen uit zijn dorp om bij het leger of de koopvaardijvloot te gaan, besloot de toen 16-jarige Clancy dat hij niet kon achterblijven. He loog over zijn leeftijd en gaf zich vrijwillig op bij het leger. Hij maakte deel uit van de 101ste Luchtlandingsdivisie en vocht zijn eerste gevecht op het Europese strijdtoneel tijdens de D-Day Landingen. Na een nauwe ontsnapping aan de dood werd hij overgeplaatst naar Easy Compagnie 506, de beroemde 'Band of Brothers'. Hij vocht zij aan zij met zijn strijdbroeders tijdens Operation Market Garden, onderging de barre weersomstandigheden en meervuldige beschietingen van de vijand tijdens de Slag om de Ardennen, was getuige van de verschrikkingen in de concentratiekampen van Nazi-Duitsland en was de eerste geallieerde soldaat die voet zette in Hitler's 'Adelaarsnest' in Berchtesgaden. Op het einde van de Tweede Wereldoorlog verkoos hij om in het leger te blijven en sloot zich aan bij de 82ste Luchtlandingsdivisie, dat gestationeerd werd in Frankfurt. Hij maakte nog twee gevechtssprongen in Korea en verdubbelde hierdoor het aantal sterren op zijn parachutisten badge. Hierdoor werd hij één van slechts enkelen die zoiets hebben bereikt. In Indochina werd hij adviseur van de 29ste Franse Parachutisten Divisie. Dit is zijn verhaal, verteld door de man zelf. Book reviews online: PublishedBestsellers website.

On the hellish battlefields of World War II Europe, Major Dick Winters led his Easy Company—the now-legendary Band of Brothers—from the confusion and chaos of the D-Day invasion to the final capture of Hitler’s Eagle’s Nest. Winters was a quiet, reluctant hero whose modesty and strength drew the admiration of not only his men, but millions worldwide. Now comes the story of his last years as witnessed and experienced by his good friend Cole C. Kingseed. Kingseed shares the formative experiences that made Winters such an effective leader. He addresses Winters’s experiences and leadership during the war, his intense, unbreakable devotion to his men, his search for peace both without and within after the war, and how fame forced him to make adjustments to an international audience of well-wishers and admirers, even as he attempted to leave a lasting legacy before joining his fallen comrades. Following Winters’s death on January 2, 2011, the outpouring of grief and adulation for one of this nation’s preeminent leaders of character, courage, and competence showed just how much of an impact Dick Winters left on the world.

The New York Times bestseller that tells the true story of the life of Major Dick Winters, the man who led the Band of Brothers in World War II. Look for the Band of Brothers miniseries, now available to stream on Netflix! In every band of brothers, there is always one who looks out for the others. They were Easy Company, 101st Army Airborne—the World War II fighting unit legendary for their bravery against nearly insurmountable odds and their loyalty to one another in the face of death. Every soldier in this band of brothers looked to one man for leadership, devotion to duty, and the embodiment of courage: Major Dick Winters. This is the riveting story of an ordinary man who became an extraordinary hero. After he enlisted in the army’s arduous new Airborne division, Winters’s natural combat leadership helped him rise through the ranks, but he was never far from his men. Decades later, Stephen E. Ambrose’s Band of Brothers made him famous around the world. Full of never-before-published photographs, interviews, and Winters’s candid insights, Biggest Brother is the fascinating, inspirational story of a man who became a soldier, a leader, and a living testament to the valor of the human spirit—and of America.
