DESCRIPTION

The Combat Story of Ed Shames of Easy Company

The engrossing account of one of World War II’s legendary figures.

A member of the legendary Band of Brothers, Ed Shames was involved in some of the most important battles of World War II. His incredible combat record includes parachuting into Normandy on D-Day, and service during Operation Market Garden, at Bastogne and in Germany itself.

Shames’ own words and recollections fuel a searing account that gives a soldier’s glimpse into the ferocity of the fighting on the ground and the close fellowship that developed between the men in Easy Company. The first member of the 101st Airborne Division to enter Dachau concentration camp, just days after its liberation, Shames ended the war in the bombed out shell of Hitler’s Eagles Nest, surrounded by his comrades in arms.

Written by the author of the critically acclaimed Tonight We Die As Men, this is the phenomenal story
of a remarkable young lieutenant during World War II, from training at Toccoa, Georgia right through to the collapse of the Third Reich.
