I was simply riveted by each story and read only one at a time so I could savor what I was reading. Many just couldn't shake the nightmares and demons and carried them through into their family lives. Many of the men seemed to emerge from the war emotionally sound and moved on. The book revealed to me a picture of a lot of pain, both physical and emotional, that many of the men of Easy Company profiled in this book must have felt after the war. Marcus treated his interviewees obviously with much respect as he coached very intimate details of these heroes personal lives, sometimes shockingly so.
The personal stories are very honest and raw. I have not been intrigued by a book this much in a long time. I participated in Marcus' last book, "We Who Are Alive and Remain: Untold Stories from the Band of Brothers" and was eagerly anticipating reading this new book. Army in WWII, made famous in Band of Brothers, I have made it a point to read every new book that comes out about the veterans, whether it be a personal biography, travel guide following their footsteps through WWII's Europe or interviews with the men and their families. of the 506 Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division of the U.S.
Because my father, Robert Burr Smith, was a member of Easy Co.
