It would be a mistake to think the television adaptation of Band of Brothers makes reading this book superfluous. If you did follow the series, it means warm recognition of the characters, useful and knowledgeable additions and explanations of the context and provides, for the historian, details not readily found in other books. For those who haven't yet seen it on TV or video, the book provides a marvellous introduction. A great and gripping read.
