Synopsis

They were the men of the now-legendary Easy Company. After almost two years of hard training, they parachuted into Normandy on D-Day and, later, Operation Market Garden. They fought their way through Belgium, France, and Germany, survived overwhelming odds, liberated concentration camps, and drank a victory toast in April 1945 at Hitler's hideout in the Alps.

Here, revealed for the first time, are stories of war, sacrifice, and courage as experienced by one of the most revered combat units in military history. In We Who Are Alive and Remain, twenty men who were there and are alive today—and the families of three deceased others—recount the horrors and the victories, the bonds they made, the tears and blood they shed, and the brothers they lost.

Goodreads review by Hannah on December 06, 2017

I cried puddles when I finished this book. It's my favorite book on the 101st Airborne that I've read... so far. What got me in the end was hearing the stories of George Luz, Sr. (one of my personal favorites from E Company), Burr Smith, and Herbert Sobel. The story of Sobel from his son's point of......more

Goodreads review by Josh on March 08, 2024

Heartwarming, funny, and horrifying, and at times all 3 at the same time, the memories of the men of East Company, the legendary “Band of Brothers” of WW2 fame live on in us. Patriotism is not something we are born with, nor is love of our fellow man and the understanding that if it needs to be done......more
