Point: Good military companies are not thrown together from the best recruits, they are forged through the heat of battle, shaped by the constant pounding of steal, and honed by strong leadership. When one has endured that, he may proudly say, \u201cI served in a company of heroes.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
Path:\u00a0 Ambrose follows the Easy Company from the 506th Regiment through training at Camp Toccoa, to Normandy, Hell\u2019s Highway, Bastogne, and Berchtesgaden. They suffered 150% casualties, they saw their companions riddled with bullets, frozen in the snow, drown, and lose their sanity. They pushed forward taking risk after risk. These men gave not only their years to the cause, but much more.<\/span><\/div>\n

Sources: Ambrose, as usually does an excellent job with journals, interviews, letters, and military information.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
Agreement: This book shows the horrors of war and the effects it has on the conquered and conquering. It does not gloss over lose. It does not hide the wickedness that arises in a man, American or German, who hates. War is war.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Personal App: As I read through this book I was so thankful for my friends and relatives who have served in military duty. My Grandfather fought in WWII and I am proud to be his grandson.<\/span><\/div>\n

Favorite Quote: \u201cThe memory of starved, dazed men,\u201d Winters wrote, \u201cwho dropped their eyes and heads when we looked at them through the chain-link fence, in the same manner that a beaten, mistreated dog would cringe, leaves feelings that cannot be described and will never be forgotten. The impact of seeing those people behind that fence left me saying, only to myself, \u2018Now I know why I am here!\u2019 \u201d (263)<\/span><\/div>\n
