'From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother'
-Shakespeare - Henry V, Act 4, Scene 3

Didn't notice this quote anywhere in the book, although it should have been there. It is where the title comes from.
Amazing book; reads much easier given that i had seen the HBO adaptation. The TV mini-series has taken (just) a bit of artistic freedom with the origin...

The keystone parameter for winning wars is the willingness of soldiers to die for one another - and thus for their unit & nation by corollary. Technology, numbers and strategies are subordinate to this spirit, which is probably as powerful an abstraction as is a mother's unconditional love. And nothing can forge this will, but blood, sweat and tears, mixed in a crucible of toil and stress induced through active operations and realistic training. This book endorses the above notion like no oth...

a great work from a great writer. Simple yet elegant. As a reader, one can easily relate to the pain,sufferings,kamaradschaft,joy, fear and victory these young boys from states shared. Also its a picture of the time a snapshot of the world when it had gone mad. Great to read from 1st to last page.simply love it

Its one of those few books i've read that weaves personal experiences and battleground realities very well......in fact so well that it is difficult to put down this book without finishing it.

I got goosebumps, could visualise the conditions in which the PIR folks fought the great war, and at the end of it felt like having lived through all of it!

One of those few cherished books that i would love to re-read to inspire myself.

Any WWII buff will recommend this book, specially after the HBO mini series being so well made. However, the book also has some rather interesting insights on many styles of leaderships and team building. So, I will recommend it for leadership development as well, perfect for taking out some parts and making into case studies. Finished the book in 3 days, and now will read it again :)

For Flipkart - guys, amazing speed of delivery and packaging!! Great job!!

Band of Brothers ... an epic tale of camraderie , brotherhood , trust , hardships which lays bare the gritty realities of war. Made into a successful HBO series , this book is a must-read for all WW2 fans.

An awesome saga of camaraderie, comradeship and brotherhood. Band of brothers can touch your soul. Its a must read for anyone wanting to join the armed forces, also for civilians who will not experience such bonding too often.

Excited for the WWll classic .

It is the one book for those war junkies like me who love and live to war history. It truly defines what it means to be a soldier and to place one's life into someone else's hand.
Please go for it and also the other books by Stephen Ambrose.

The book is good especially if you find stuff related to WW2 interesting. Print quality couldn't be better.
