'The story of Easy Company has been told before… but never so personally as it is here.' - The Independent The Contributors Accompanying the photographs are personal recollections of the men of Easy Company, gathered from veterans exclusively for this edition. This 20,000-word original text is accompanied by a Foreword by Tom Hanks and Afterword by Steven Spielberg. 'What can we make of the men who made up the parachute infantry regiments? Take a company of that or any of the airborne units and you have not just a group of volunteers, but a collection of men who had to train, test, and earn the right to jump out of airplanes in the dark of night, land behind enemy lines, and begin their part of the war in battle and surrounded. These men seemed to have been campaigning for the label of "hero".' - From Tom Hanks' Foreword 'With sincere hopes that you experience similar personal insights, with confidence that you'll find one of these ageing heroes, say thanks and elicit a story of greatness or two before they all disappear from among us, I thank you for reading this book. And I thank you for taking the time to appreciate what they went through during World War II. Those of us who enjoy freedom around the world stand humbly in their giant shadow.' - From Steven Spielbergs' Afterword. First and Fine. Signed by Author(s).
