This is the kind of book that makes you proud of what the Americans did during World War II (though I'm not American and yes, I understand that other countries like Canada had a part as well, but this book is about E Company from the US).

You get to see firsthand what the brave soldiers went through, fighting a war that was in a way, not their own (yes, people say that U.S. was afraid Hitler would take over Europe and then come for North America), but to these soldiers, they were fighting a war that hadn't touched them yet. It shows humanity in its rawest forms.

Understanding the pain these soldiers went through and their bravery was touching.

Stephen E. Ambrose
“In one of his last newsletters, Mike Ranney wrote: "In thinking back on the days of Easy Company, I'm treasuring my remark to a grandson who asked, 'Grandpa, were you a hero in the war?'
No,'" I answered, 'but I served in a company of heroes.”
