i'm proud to have read it first and not just have been swept up in the Hollywood glitz and glabour of it (though in fairness the series is incredibly good)
IT was a great book which I read regularly and I have nothing but the utmost respect for all of those men. The book was touching, emotional, exciting... at the end of the book you get the Company of Heroes line. In the book you see how it all happened. In the book, you have MAjor Richard D. Winters. In the book....you get my drift.
The book has a wealth of other engagements or details that had to be omitted from the series. If you can get it and loved the series I seriously suggest you read this.
Did you follow the trend or pick this book up in the store?

In response to earlier question, I picked up BoB before the series was made. I have it with the origial cover on it (IE not the one with"Now a major TV series"P)
I was in the Imperial War Museum with my dad and even though they looked big reads (I was about 9) Ipicked up D - Day and BoB/
Its a very good book...

Citizen Soldiers was awesome as well.
He wrote some stuff about the old West that I mean to read.

Its not translated into my lingo.
Both are fucking amazing.
I think because I'm not a great reader the series sort of made me Fall in love with the whole BoB thing.
Bastogne - What an episode.

me. I can. I have read hos other books so I know that he has the power to distort history. Who here has ready Cornileus Ryan or Paul Brickhill?
Awesome on a level that far out reaches the limits of awesomeness, read the book after i watched the series actually, but was only because i didn't know there was a book, but it was a CANT PUT DOWN KIND OF BOOK, the sort of book you should not read at bedtime to make you feel tired because you just wont go to sleep. it was brilliant to learn that some of the 501st actually stayed in the town that's 1 mile away from me now and to actually see pics of them, marching, also some of the pics of Winters standing at the bridge where they blew the hell out of that German horse and cart. once again even if you have seen the series 10+ times like my self, the book is a great read.
Last night I picked up Citizen Soldiers from the shelf, which I had always been meaning to read. It is brilliantly good.
