Summary
Sgt. Don Malarkey takes us not only into the battles fought from Normandy to Germany, but into the heart and mind of a soldier who beat the odds to become an elite paratrooper and lost his best friend during the nightmarish engagement at Bastogne.
Drafted in 1942, Malarkey arrived at Toccoa Camp in Georgia and was one of six soldiers who earned their Eagle wings and went to England in 1943 to provide ground cover for the largest amphibious military attack in history: Operation Overlord.
In the darkness of D-Day morning, Malarkey parachuted into France and, within days, was awarded a Bronze Star for his heroism in battle. He fought for 23 days in Normandy, nearly 80 in Holland, 39 in Bastogne, and nearly 30 more in and near Haguenau, France, and the Ruhr pocket in Germany.
This is his dramatic tale of those bloody days fighting his way from the shores of France to the heartland of Germany, and the epic story of how an adventurous kid from Oregon became a leader of men.

Amazing and Heartbreaking
It's amazing to listen to what the author went through and describes so vividly. The strength and valour that this unit in particular showed through the latter parts of WWII is humbling. An excellent listen, highly recommended

Fabulous
This is a fabulous read/listen, and complements nicely Dick Winters’ memoirs and of course the HBO Band of Brothers series. Thoroughly enjoyed this.

What an amazing audiobook
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this after watching Band of Brothers and getting the vision of how the war played out for the guys in the 101st Easy Company. I highly recommend this audiobook if you enjoyed the series....even if you haven’t and like learning about WW2 this is a great audiobook to listen too and learn a little corner of the war.
