A Company of Heroes

A Company of Heroes

Marcus Brotherton, the acclaimed author of We Who Are Alive and Remain presents remembrances from the families of the soldiers of Easy Company, made famous in the hugely popular World War II chronicle Band of Brothers.

A Company of Heroes is an intimate, revealing portrait of the lives of the men who fought for our freedom during some of the darkest days the world has ever known—men who returned home with a newfound wisdom and honor that they passed on to their families and who continue to inspire new generations of Americans. Meet Tab Talbert, the best soldier in Easy Company; Robert J. Rader, a man so community-minded he has a bridge named in his honor; Frederick “Moose” Heyliger, who could name every bird in the sky; and Patrick O’Keefe, who once, although hungry, put all the money he had—35 cents—into a collection box for the poor. Within a company filled with heroes, each man has a story worth telling.

Compiled from the veterans' notes, journals, letters, photographs and the author's personally conducted interviews with the surviving contributors, this unique volume features the never-before-told stories of the Band of Brothers from more than twenty children and other family members.
