Based on the bestseller by Stephen E. Ambrose, the epic
10-part miniseries Band of Brothers tells the story of Easy Company, 506th
Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division, U.S. Army. Drawn from interviews with
survivors of Easy Company, as well as soldiers' journals and letters, Band of
Brothers chronicles the experiences of these men who knew extraordinary bravery
and extraordinary fear. They were an elete rifle company parachuting into France
early on D-Day morning, fighting in the Battle of the Bulge and capturing
Hitler's Eagle's Nest at Berchtesgaden. They were also a unit that suffered 150
percent casualties, and whose lives became legend. |
