C O N D I T I O N : Near Fine. N O T E S: Paperback. Size: B Format (7¾" x 5¼"). C O N T E N T S : 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.

Guerra

Livro novo, fatos ocorridos nas sebes da Normandia à invasão da Alemanha - pelo ponto de vista dos homens e das mulheres que a ela compareceram.

This book deals with the closing events of World War II, beginning with D-Day in June 1944 and the Allied advance across Europe, until the end of the war in 1945. Much of the content is familiar from other Ambrose books on the period, as well as from the author's notable biography of Dwight D. Eisenhower, the commander and overseer of the Allied invasion. n n
