Overview

Through the epic war chronicle Band of Brothers, an entirely new generation of Americans learned of the heroism, sacrifice, and camaraderie of the soldiers who served, fought, and died in Easy Company during World War II. Here, Larry Alexander returns to the very battlefields that made Easy Company a legend. Accompanied by Easy veteran Sergeant Forrest Guth, Alexander follows the path to victory taken by the men of Easy Company, exploring the living history of the places where they went into action and revealing what makes their story so meaningful for us to this day. Readers will experience World War II through eyes of Easy Company-from their first stationing in the quiet town of Aldbourne, England, to Brecourt Manor, where they silenced German cannons that were pounding the Allied forces assaulting the beaches of Normandy; to Holland, where they first tasted defeat in Operation Market Garden; and to the steely resolve they exemplified through the siege of Bastogne. Part travelogue, part historical perspective, In the Footsteps of the Band of Brothers is an unforgettable memorial to the soldiers who did not return, and the heroes we're losing every day.
