A great read that fills in the blanks left by the Band of brothers book & tv series.
Political correctness takes a back seat & Bill & Babe say it as it was.
I felt that more could have been detailed about the different firefights which occured (especiallly on the Normandy drop.)
Bill touches on this very lightly by saying he was named Wild Bill after killing many Germans on D Day.
However, he doesn't go into any more detail other than admitting that he 'executed' two SS soldiers (on D Day) who had surrendered to him with a bullet to the back of their heads. (He then goes on to say that he has no regrets & feels no pain or sorrow fot killing them. (How many people would admit that in their book ?)
Been a Brit I didn't reallly appreciate the comments stating that if the 101st were dropped into Arnhem then it may well have been a different outcome but Hey, That's what makes this book such a good read.
They tell it exactly how they see it & don't hold out on there opinions (Especiallly on what they think of Monty !)
I know this isn't a review as such but I wanted to give a couple of examples as to the content of the book to give an idea of what you can expect.
As I said earlier this is a great read & I highly recommend buying it.
I give it 4 Stars but it is very nearly a 5.
