Through soldiers' journals and letters, describes Easy Company's contributions to the campaigns in western Europe and recounts their stories of survival.
Amazon.co.uk Review
As grippingly as any novelist, preeminent World War II historian Stephen Ambrose uses Band of Brothers to tell the horrifying, hallucinatory saga of Easy Company, whose 147 members he calls the nonpareil combat paratroopers on earth circa 1941-45. Ambrose takes us along on Easy Company's trip from gruelling basic training to Utah Beach on D-day, where a dozen of them turned German cannons into dynamited ruins resembling "half-peeled bananas", on to the Battle of the Bulge, the liberation of part of the Dachau concentration camp, and a large party at Hitler's "Eagle's Nest", where they drank the his (surprisingly inferior) champagne. Of Ambrose's main sources, three soldiers became rich civilians; at least eight became teachers; one became Albert Speer's jailer; one prosecuted Robert Kennedy's assassin; another became a mountain recluse; the despised, sadistic CO who first trained Easy Company (and to whose strictness many soldiers attributed their survival of the war) wound up a suicidal loner whose own sons skipped his funeral. The Easy Company survivors describe the hell and confusion of any war: the senseless death of the nicest kid in the company when a souvenir Luger goes off in his pocket; the execution of a GI by his CO for disobeying an order not to get drunk. Despite the gratuitous horrors it relates, Band of Brothers illustrates what one of Ambrose's sources calls "the secret attractions of war ... the delight in comradeship, the delight in destruction ... war as spectacle". --Tim Appelo
Amazon.com Audibook Review
The men of E Company, 506th Regiment, 101st Airborne, volunteered for this elite fighting force because they wanted to be the best in the army--and avoid fighting alongside unmotivated, out-of-shape draftees. The price they paid for that desire was long, arduous, and sometimes sadistic training, followed by some of the most horrific battles of World War II. Actor Cotter Smith--a veteran of numerous TV movies and Broadway plays--spins Stephen Ambrose's tale with almost laconic ease. Anecdote by anecdote, he lets the power of the story build. By the time the company has gotten through D-day and seized Hitler's Eagle's Nest in Bavaria, we feel we know as much about the men and their missions as we do about our own brothers. (Running time: 5 hours, 4 cassettes) --Lou Schuler

先是看了电影,然后很感动也很震撼。 看完了马上找到了原版小说。 又看完了原版小说。 传说当年有人给了tom hanks这部小说,他看了之后泪流满面。 才有了HBO的这部迷你剧。 优秀的作品既能引起人的共鸣,也能引起人的思考。 band of brothers就是这样一部作品。 今...
评分这本书,是我高中某个暑假逛书店的时候偶然间遇到的。 所幸,我买下了他。 立刻着迷。 兄弟连里,友情是无处不在。 从组建,到最后攻占鹰巢。 我们都随着E连的英雄们回到那个战火纷飞的年代。 一起对着希特勒大喊,我们来了! 兄弟连,兄弟!
评分大一的时候就读了一遍,很早以前就看过这部长达十集的电影,甚是喜欢,前一段时间又看了一遍,依然精彩,爱不释手,看的不仅仅是电影中精彩交火场面,而是在其中你能感受到友情,那种正像温斯特上校说的,这种感情是在和平时代建立不起来的,战友们用同一个散兵坑,共同面对敌...

评分首次提及: 斯皮尔斯这个军官有点小名气。他高高瘦瘦的,黑头发,很严肃,有种粗犷的美,一看就是个领导模样,打起仗来是个很棒的基层指挥官。同在D连的汤姆·吉布森中尉描绘他“是一个强悍、激进、英勇而足智多谋的步枪排排长”。他在军官中外号“火花”,在士兵中外号“冷血...
就差把这本供起来了 每次翻书前都得沐浴焚香
评分Impressive, elaborate, humourous, worth of reading. Again, Winters's a perfect man, how could we not love him. And Speirs, what a legend.And Nixon,Lipton, Compton,Malarkey, Gordon ...So many lovely men. As for Eugene, unlike in the film, there's little description in the book actually. Then, still, the movie is a success.
评分最喜欢里面一句话,一个孙子问自己爷爷,你是英雄么?老人回答到,我不是,但我很有幸能和那些英雄共同上战场。
评分看完了BOB的书,有点想哭,又想笑,活着的人能够度过完整的人生,永远记得逝去的朋友,在最后的big jump不犹豫,大约就是境界了吧。好书看完有点寂寞。整本书最好的总结,“I served in a company of heroes.”
评分文字读起来比影视克制。电视剧很忠实原著。
