Beyond Band of Brothers

Archival Summary & Scope

Immortalized as the "Band of Brothers," Easy Company suffered unparalleled casualties liberating Europe. Now, their legendary commander, Major Dick Winters, tells his story for the first time in his own words. Winner of the Distinguished Service Cross, Winters's memoir, based on his wartime diary, offers a deeply personal account of his leadership from D-Day through the Battle of the Bulge and into Germany. This volume contains never-before-published material from Winters and untold stories from his comrades—content largely absent from Stephen Ambrose's *Band of Brothers* and the HBO miniseries it inspired. A moving, unvarnished look at leadership, bravery, and the true cost of war, from a man revered by his men and generations worldwide. Includes photos.
