Band of Brothers
Brief Summary of Beyond Band of Brothers
The book "Beyond Band of Brothers" has been written by the commander of the army, Dick Winters. Winters and his team was referred to as the Easy Company. However, the mission that they were trying to accomplish was far from being easy. Commemorated as the Band of Brothers, Winters and his soldiers suffered 150% casualties while they tried to liberate the European region. The way that Winters led his army and the way they fought the war is an unparalleled example of bravery. Many historians claim that commanders like Winters are very rare and they believe that he was the best leader of the forces during the World War II. He told his story and explained his experiences of the combat in this book.
On the day of the commencement of the combat, Dick Winters landed into France and took control of the Band of Brothers as their commander after their former leader was killed. He guided them throughout the Battle of the Bulge and then also led the army when it entered Germany. By this time, most of the soldiers of his army had been wounded. Even though the content of this book is not any different from what other historians have stated about the World War II, this book contains the untold stories of the comrade. The way the writer has penned down the incidents of the war, they truly pay tribute to the kind of human spirit that was possessed by the soldiers of his army and him during the times of war.
