| Description | In Every Band of Brothers, There is Always One Who Looks Out for the Others.... They were Easy Company, 101st Army Airborne-a fighting unit whose members became legendary in the annals of World War II combat for their bravery, their ability to get the job done against nearly insurmountable odds, and their unswerving loyalty to one another in the face of death. They were more than brothers in arms. They were a family. And there was one man to whom every soldier in Easy Company looked for leadership, guidance, the embodiment of courage, and devotion to duty: Major Dick Winters. Here, for the first time, is the compelling story of an ordinary man who became an extraordinary hero. Winters's childhood in the rolling farmlands of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, taught him the core values of hard work and personal integrity that guided him, leading him to enlist at the outbreak of war and volunteer for the arduous training that forged the army's new Airborne division. His natural skill as a leader in combat elevated him into the higher ranks, where he felt an increasing responsibility for the lives of his men. After the war, he gradually adjusted to civilian life, but was reactivated to duty during the Korean conflict. Yet it was only decades later that worldwide fame and recognition-which he had never sought-were thrust upon him with the publication of Stephen E. Ambrose's Band of Brothers. Including interviews with family, friends, and fellow veterans of Easy Company, and the insight and knowledge only Winters himself could provide, Biggest Brother is the fascinating, thought-provoking, and ultimately inspiring life story of a man who became a soldier, a leader, and a living testament to the valor of the human spirit-and of America. | | Release Date | 2005 | | Author | Larry Alexander | | Format | Dimensions 16.0x24.0x3.1 cm
