具体描述
They came together, citizen soldiers, in the summer of 1942, drawn to Airborne by the $50 monthly bonus and a desire to be better than the other guy. And at its peak -- in Holland and the Ardennes -- Easy Company, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Divison, U.S. Army, was as good a rifle company as any in the world. From the rigorous training in Georgia in 1942 to the disbanding in 1945, Stephen Ambrose tells the story of this remarkable company. In combat, the reward for a job well done is the next tough assignment, and as they advanced through Europe, the men of Easy kept getting the tough assignments. They parachuted into France early D-Day morning and knocked out a battery of four 105 mm cannon looking down Utah Beach; they parachuted into Holland during the Arnhem campaign; they were the Battered Bastards of the Bastion of Bastogne, brought in to hold the line, although surrounded, in the Battle of the Bulge; and then they spearheaded the counteroffensive. Finally, they captured Hitler's Bavarian outpost, his Eagle's Nest at Berchtesgaden. They were rough-and-ready guys, battered by the Depression, mistrustful and suspicious. They drank too much French wine, looted too many German cameras and watches, and fought too often with other GIs. But in training and combat they learned selflessness and found the closest brotherhood they ever knew. They discovered that in war, men who loved life would give their lives for them. This is the story of the men who fought, of the martinet they hated who trained them well, and of the captain they loved who led them. E Company was a company of men who went hungry, froze, and died for each other, a company that took 150 percent casualties, a company where the Purple Heart was not a medal -- it was a badge of office.

评分跟电视剧有许多不同的细节，作者的描述详细，但不细致。不过作为这部电视剧的忠实影迷和小说的忠实读者（读了不下5-6遍，中文的或英文的），依然爱不释手。（书橱里藏有的一本不是这个出版社的，是旧版封面，hardcover）
评分战争中的自尊和生存，一个人唯有自尊自爱自信才是终极目标，专制现在时与恐惧，对待战友的同担当共进退与孤独。正如使命召唤14结束语中祖斯曼所言:集中营里大家虽然在一起但仍旧孤独，为了应对孤独每个人都有自己的生存方式。这就显示出朝鲜战场战俘营中党小组，组织生活的重要...
评分 评分除了这本书之外，还可以搭配着读一下温特斯少校的回忆录《亲历兄弟连》（凤凰出版传媒集团--译林出版社）。其实还有一部纪录片《我们孤胆，我们并肩》，但还没找到。温特斯少校已于2011年1月2日逝世，享年92岁。
