About this product

Product Information

Tom Hanks introduces the "remarkable" ( Publishers Weekly ) true story of two inseparable friends and soldiers portrayed in the HBO(R) miniseries Band of Brothers . Look for the Band of Brothers miniseries, now available to stream on Netflix! William "Wild Bill" Guarnere and Edward "Babe" Heffron were among the first paratroopers of the U.S. Army--members of an elite unit of the 101st Airborne Division called Easy Company. The crack unit was called upon for every high-risk operation of the war, including D-Day, Operation Market Garden in Holland, the Battle of the Bulge, and the capture of Hitler's Eagle's Nest in Berchtesgaden. In his own words, Guarnere gives a gripping account of D-Day from the paratrooper's perspective. Both men vividly re-create dropping into Holland to capture the roads and bridges between Eindhoven and Arnhem, known as Hell's Highway. Through much of 1944 both friends fought side by side--until Guarnere lost his right leg in the Battle of the Bulge and was sent home. Heffron went on to liberate slave labor and concentration camps and capture Hitler's Eagle's Nest hideout. United by their experience, the two reconnected at the war's end and were inseparable up until their deaths. Brothers in Battle, Best of Friends is a tribute to the lasting bond forged between comrades in arms under fire and to all the brave men who fought fearlessly for freedom. Includes photographs

Brothers in Battle, Best of Friends
This book is absoultely fabulous. It is a must read for anyone interested in the band of brothers, easy company. A book that all the younger generation should be reading to find out what it was like for these young men to have their lives changed forever. This is what they should be teaching in the schools as to what war really is and how it changes everyone involved. A great story in this book for 2 of the greatest war heroes still alive. I have met them in person and get so proud to be able to shake their hands and say, thank you. Read this book.

Brothers in Battle, Best of Friends
I really enjoyed this book. It presents the viewpoints of both men (Bill and Babe). This book is totally factual, unlike Band of Brothers mini-series. I especially enjoyed their down to earth personalities and their straight forward comments. They present their emotions (tears and joy). I found their genuine patriotism very refreshing. After finishing this book I found my respect for these two men even greater than before. They were and continue to be genuine heros--even though they do not see themselves as such; they continue to be very humble about their actions in WWII.
