Title: Fantastic!
Product review: I don't find a need to summarize this book. However, I will say the book is excellent! One of the best books I've read about the common soldier in Europe. Ambrose's writing is superb - he makes all of the characters come alive as we follow their induction into the Army and their arrival at Fort Toccoa and their training with Capt. Sobel. We follow the guys to England as they get ready to depart for Normandy. The book continues with their jumps into Holland and later, Bastogne. Since we've followed the troops and have come to know them well, there is a sense of sadness at the war's end that these band of brothers are disbanding. The "where are they now" at the end of the book is quite poignant. The book is not heavy on facts and is somewhat light reading but it's one that is hard to put down.
