"Winters tells the tales left untold by Stephen Ambrose, whose Band of Brothers was the inspiration for the HBO miniseries...."Publishers Weekly
"A poignant, riveting story with timeless application to the study of leadership in war."Colonel Lance Betros, chairman, Department of History, U. S. Military Academy, author of West Point
In war, great commanders lead soldiers into hell to do the impossible.
They were called Easy Companybut their mission was never easy. Immortalized as the Band of Brothers, they suffered huge casualties while liberating Europe in an unparalleled record of bravery under fire. Dick Winters led them through the Battle of the Bulge, the attack on Foywhere Easy Company reached its breaking pointand finally into Germany, by which time each member had been wounded. Outside Munich, they liberated an S.S. death camp and captured Berchtesgaden, Hitler's alpine retreat.
Beyond Band of Brothers is Winters's memoir, based on his wartime diary, but it also includes his comrades' untold stories. Only Winters was present from the activation of Easy Company until the war's end. This is their story, told in his words for the first time.
Major Dick Winters was born in Pennsylvania in 1918 and graduated from Franklin & Marshall College in 1941. Released from military service in November 1945, he returned briefly to active duty during the Korean War, then spent his life on a small Pennsylvania farm and was a successful businessman.
Colonel Cole C. Kingseed is a thirty-year Army veteran and the author of several articles and books on corporate and military leadership.
