Product Review

Follow the men of Easy Company from the start of boot camp to the end of WWII. From Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks, this haunting, powerful HBO miniseries takes you into the hellish heart of war. Nominated for 19 Emmy® Awards. 10 episodes plus an 80-min. documentary; 11-1/4 hours on 6 cassettes. Simon says: Stephen Ambrose, prolific chronicler of history, wrote Band of Brothers in part to renew "a commitment to democracy…an understanding that freedom doesn’t come for free." This point, of course, was tragically underscored just two days after the September 9 premiere of the miniseries.
