"As good a rifle company as any in the world. Easy Company, 506th Airborne Division, U.S. Army, kept getting the tough assignments responsible for everything from parachuting into France early D-Day morning to the capture of Hitler's Eagle's Nest at Berchtesgaden. Ambrose tells of the men in this brave unit who fought, went hungry,froze, and died, a company that took 150 percent casualties and considered the Purple Heart a badge of office." -- Back cover.
