I haven't read the two books/authors mentioned here. As a reader of "Everything Ambrose" (for better or for worse), I was amazed at how much material in Band of Brothers was strictly recreated.
I'll definately have to add these books to my reading list before the mini-series arrives. |

Finally! This has been in the works for a long time. I actually transcribed some stories from Pacific theater veterans a few years ago as sort of early preparation for this. I can't wait to see if some of that stuff makes it into this miniseries.

Huge fan of Band of Brothers, this is great news. Eventhough I have seen the series hundreds of times, and own the boxset, whenever they come on A&E or they do a marathon, I will still watch them.

Wow! I just finished watching Band of Brothers on Netflix last week and was blown away with the entire series. Hadn't realized that was 6 years ago already considering the quality of the effects and the near perfect cinematography. Looking forward to this one.

If they are using sledge, I'm not looking forward to seeing the visual representation of Okinawa when he was digging his mortar pit.

BTW...borders had a big 40% off box set sale on Friday, so I was finally able to snag Band of Brothers.
