"There is no better story of history than that written by a competent writer who was present when the history was being made. Such is the story told by David Kenyon Webster in his story of D-Day and the fall of Nazi Germany. Webster deals with the everyday battle for survival by the foot soldiers who won WWII. From surviving intense fire-fights to trying to secure food when hungry, shelter when cold and wet, and living to the end of the war, Webster's story is a must read from a man who was there from D-Day to the fall of the Third Reich."
"Having seen the Band of Brothers series and read every available book by Easy Company veterans, I already knew a little about Webster going into the book. Overall, the book provided some good insight into the everyday life and mindset of the WWII paratrooper."
"Excellent book. Text written well before Amborse's Band of Brothers appeared then re-released/released for first time as a complete book more or less concurrent with Band of Brothers book. Provides a different perspective from the HBO mini-series in which Webster was credited with actions that may have been added for dramatic effect or added to represent a composite experience through Webster."
"I love the Band of Brothers series, as well as most books in the WW2 time period. Band of Brothers hardly mentioned Webster and to be honest after watching the series and seeing how he was portrayed, I was pretty skeptical about reading this book. But I am glad that I did because it gave me a greater insight to who he was, what he personally went through and it's almost a day by day account of those moments in his life. Great book, and I am looking forward to reading his last book about sharks before he died."
