Have any of you read the book? Stephen Ambrose is (was, I should say) an amazing writer. I never enjoyed history until I started reading his stuff. What stunned me about the HBO series is how accurate it was. 99% of it came straight from the book, which came mostly from first-person interviews.
It is hands-down my favorite war "movie" ever. I could watch it every day. When History Channel airs a marathon, everything in my house comes to a grinding halt!
I read his book. A good read. Also read "Beyond Band of Brothers" by Major Dick Winters and Colonel Cole Kingseed, "Biggest Brother" by Larry Alexander, and Parachute Infantry" by (Private?) David Webster.
