Band of Brothers

The book Band of Brothers, by Stephen E. Ambrose shows the heart and determination of the men of Easy Company. The book starts off with the men many of which have just turned 18, at Camp Taccoa. The camp is a jump school, many of the mens reason for joining the airborne troops is because that it is the best of the best. The group meets Herbert M. Sobel or captain sobel. But you also meet Dick Winters among many others. The book shows the hard ships that the men had to face under Captain Sobel. The company is the best in the Army they are the best in shape and the meanest fighters. The phrase high ho silver is something that the men grow accustom too. When the group graduates from jump school and gets there silver wings, it really means one thing that this group is getting put into the war soon. With WWII in full swing and Hitler beating down on the allies plus having the Japanese bombing Pearl Harbor, the group gets to find out where they go to if the train takes them north east to New York there going to Europe if they go south then there going to fight Japan. When the train heads to the north the men start saying hello Hitler here we come. Easy Company in the 101st division are the best of the best and in reading the book you will find that out from the jump on D-Day all the way to being in the battle of the buldge  to even going up the mountain to Hitlers eagles nest. This book is the hardest book that I have ever read and I'm not saying that lightly the men go through some very hard things and Stephen E Ambrose knows how to write a very good book this is the only book I think that I'm going to give a 10/10 for. The way that this book makes me really think is amazing. I wouldn't recommend this book to people that don't like to read challenging books because this book is very difficult but on that same note for people that love books on WWII or even war books this is the book to read.
