An Instant Classic June 23, 2008

This DVD set is one of the best additions to my video library I have ever made. It is an instant classic because it is the true story of the men of Easy Company of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division in WWII Europe. It is also a classic because of the quality way it is made with attention to the minutest detail. In the foreword to the latest edition of the book this series is based on, Stephen E. Ambrose tells of how Hanks and Spielberg got started on this video project. He also tells of their genuine interest in telling the story of the "Band of Brothers" exactly like it happened. These efforts included face-to-face and phone conversations with the surviving members of Easy to ensure they recreated every scene correct, even down to what each man was feeling. Ambrose told the true story of these heroes in his book, and the video series follows the book to the letter.
Although I have never experienced hard combat such as that of the battle of Bastogne, I did spend many years in the U.S. Navy. During that time, I learned first hand the value of effective leadership and of the camaraderie that makes a military unit a "Band of Brothers". This series shows that leadership and camaraderie in an excellent manner.
This exceptional video production tells the whole story of the heroes of Easy Company from their formation and training at Camp Toccoa, Georgia to their deactivation at the conclusion of WWII. It portrays their thoughts, feelings and actions during such key WWII campaigns as the D-Day landings, Operation Market Garden in Holland, the Battle of the Bulge, the fall of Nazi Germany and the occupation of Hitler's Eagles Nest in the Alps.
This DVD set is a must-have addition to any video library, especially if you are interested in American history, WWII, effective leadership or just inspiring stories. I even recommend it to anti-war advocates as it accurately depicts the true horrors of war. As any intelligent person knows, combat warriors are the strongest anti-war advocates there are, as politicians and diplomats start the wars; it is the warriors who have to put their butts on the line to prosecute and win them. I cannot recommend owning this set strongly enough!

I got this from my family for fathers day. I am a total WW2 nut, but I had never seen this one before. Totally addictive, I kept watching episode after episode until I had watched the whole thing.
I was blown away by this one!
