Stephen Ambrose takes you on a journey from Basic training to post World War 2 with Easy Company. His storytelling is compelling. But he also describes the psychology of war and combat. Clearly, the individual civilian soldier and the non-commissioned officers won the important battles that led to victory for the Allies. The horror and heroism of war is told in unflinching language. It is one of several books by Ambrose that should be required reading for adults.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. As a 70 year old female who never served in or even knew anyone well who served, I was completely lost in most of the technical and military verbiage, but the underlying story of those men’s thoughts and feelings came through so vividly that I never put the book down. I know enough American history to be able to place many of the actions in the book and reading about what it took from those men made it very real to me. I am grateful that the book ended with stories of each of the men’s post-WWII lives. My father was part of that generation and I recognize many of the traits of him and his friends during their final years.

A must read book for every generation to understand why we refer to that generation as the greatest generation. I promise you you will not be able to put this book down.

This was a heartbreaking and encouraging story of men in war and in peace. I somehow feel honored to have read their story and were I placed in their positions during WWII, I hope I would have performed as admirably as they did. God bless America.

Must read for anyone who is interested in ww2.

This book is a great read. It is well versed with battlefield language that can be challenging to understand but allows the reader to be pulled into the real life action. These men will always be hero’s. I highly recommend this book to any reader who craves WW2 history. The letters, stories, and backgrounds of these men is something I will never forget. Thank you Easy Company!

This book was great it had more detailed than show.

And i love the army am 11 years old and i will be in the army rangers💕💕💕

Sent chills down my spine, couldn’t put it down.

We to this day and beyond owe these men our utmost gratitude. They cured the Hitler cancer.
