Band Of Brothers

Band Of Brothers is a non-fiction book written by Stephen Ambrose that takes place during World War II. Steven Spielberg produced a 10 part mini-series based on the book in 2001 and is currently working on another 10 part series to be released in 2009.

• "The author captures many of the representative moments in a WW II soldier's career: the fear that, under some of the most intense shelling of the war, one may be approaching a breaking point; the suffering of freezing overnight in a foxhole while going hungry and without a bath in days; the elation of survival and success; disgust with commanders either inept or arbitrary; and a sense of brotherhood like that felt with nobody else in life." - Kirkus Reviews

• "At a cost of an estimated $104 million, it's the most expensive television drama ever made and after viewing only the first two parts, you'll agree that this is a project worthy of you to stand at attention and salute." - eFilm Critic Review
