René Michaud: Band of Brothers

I chose to read Band of Brothers because I enjoyed the HBO series quite a bit. The book and the series were pretty much the same to the last detail(makes sense to me), except for the fact the movie did not include nearly as much as the book. It took place during WWII following E company, 506th Regiment, 101st Airborne who were considered the most physically fit regiment. This book was much better than I had expected. I thought it was pretty cool that a lot of the real soldeiers were interviewed and Ambrose used quotes throughout the book. I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys WWII books.
