      Synopsis

      From Marcus Brotherton, co-author of Call of Duty, comes a new collection of untold stories from the Band of Brothers.

      They were the men of the now-legendary Easy Company. After almost two years of hard training, they parachuted into Normandy on DDay and, later, Operation Market Garden. They fought their way through Belgium, France, and Germany, survived overwhelming odds, liberated concentration camps, and drank a victory toast in April 1945 at Hitler's hideout in the Alps. Here, revealed for the first time, are stories of war, sacrifice, and courage as experienced by one of the most revered combat units in military history. In We Who Are Alive and Remain, twenty men who were there and are alive today-and the families of three deceased others-recount the horrors and the victories, the bonds they made, the tears and blood they shed...and the brothers they lost.

      Edwin Burgess - Library Journal

      This work examines the experiences of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, focusing on the 2nd Battalion, Easy Company, the unit Stephen Ambrose profiled in Band of Brothers. The narrative offers interviews with 20 surviving members of the company, often discussing their opinions of the HBO series as well as their experiences in training and combat. Probably not a necessary acquisition for any but the most complete collections.

      September 23, 2009: This is a must read, not just for Band of Brothers fans, but for all interested in the men who made up our airborne warriors during WWII. This book features some of the lesser known men of Easy Company who got little or no camera time from HBO. (Not a knock on HBO's Band of Brothers--it's just due to the obvious limitations of a screenplay.) Forrest Guth got entirely left out by HBO, but he's featured here! A real fan favorite, Shifty Powers, is also featured in this book. Guth and Powers are great patriots and unique personalities who each deserve their own books.

      I like the way the author, Marcus Brotherton, did not get in the way of the men telling their stories. He just let them speak, almost like, as a reader, I was having a cup of coffee with these heroes. He didn't even correct them when minor details of there recollections didn't exactly jive with historic or geographic details. I actually liked and appreciated that. You don't read such a book for historical details--you read such a book to get to know the thoughts, fears and loves of the amazing men.

      The greatest generation will soon all be gone. Thanks to men like Marcus Brotherton, they will not be forgotten. (Brotherton also co-authored Lt. Buck Compton's autobiography--another great book about WWII airborne soldiers!)

      Add this to your library--and look for more projects from Marcus Brotherton.

      I Also Recommend: Call of Duty, The Great Hour Struck.

      September 14, 2009: I bought this book for one reason. I wanted to know more about Herbet Sobel. The book becomes very redundant, especially if you have read more than one book on the subject. I still enjoyed the book and the photos that were new to me.
