They were Easy Company, 101st Army Airborne-the World War II
fighting unit legendary for their bravery against nearly
insurmountable odds and their loyalty to one another in the face of
death. Every soldier in this band of brothers looked to one man for
leadership: Major Dick Winters.
This is the riveting story of an ordinary man who became an
extraordinary hero. After he enlisted in the army's arduous new
Airborne division, Winters's natural combat leadership helped him
climb the ranks, but he was never far from his men. Decades later,
Stephen E. Ambrose's Band of Brothers made him world-famous. Full
of never-before-published photographs, interviews, and Winters's
candid insights, Biggest Brother is the story of a man who became a
soldier, a leader, and a living testament to the valor of the human
spirit.
