Book Description
================
Ambrose (Pegasus Bridge) narrates in vivid detail the adventures, misadventures-
, triumphs and tragedies of a single U.S. Army infantry company over 
its span of organizational life. Formed in July 1944 and deactivated 
in November 1945, E Company was one of the most successful light infantry 
units in the European theater. Its troops saw their first action on 
D-Day behind the Normandy beachhead, took part in Operation Market Garden 
in Holland, held the perimeter around Bastogne during the Battle of 
the Bulge, and were the first to reach Hitler's Bavarian outpost at 
Berchtesgaden. The book is enlivened with pertinent comments by veterans 
of "Easy Company,'' who recall not only the combat action but their 
relations with their officers (one company commander was a petty tyrant 
of the worst type, but his oppressive ways had much to do with the unit's 
impressive esprit de corps ) and their impressions of the countries 
through which they campaigned (hated the French, loved the Germans). 
This is a terrific read for WW II actions buffs.
