	Amazon.co.uk: Band of Brothers: Books
		As grippingly as any novelist, preeminent World War II historian Stephen Ambrose uses Band of Brothers to tell the horrifying, hallucinatory saga of Easy Company, whose 147 members he calls the nonpareil combat paratroopers on earth circa 1941-45.
		The Easy Company survivors describe the hell and confusion of any war: the senseless death of the nicest kid in the company when a souvenir Luger goes off in his pocket; the execution of a GI by his CO for disobeying an order not to get drunk.
		Band of Brothers (Kamen) ~ Original TV Soundtrack (Composer), Michael Kamen

	DVD Review - Band of Brothers
		Based on the book of the same name by historian Stephen Ambrose, and actual interviews with the surviving soldiers, this 10-part mini-series recalls the experience of Easy during World War II.
		We follow these men through thick and thin, from the Allied invasion of Normandy on D-Day and the subsequent invasion of Holland, to the blistering Battle of the Bulge and Easy Company's eventual capture of Hitler's "Eagle's Nest" in the German Alps.
		But these tracks are well matched in terms of quality - so much so that it's a draw in my book.

		Band of Brothers: (Michael Kamen) Earlier this year, Michael Kamen was working on a frustrating demonstration process with the producers of Tomb Raider.
		Ironically, Both Medal of Honor and Band of Brothers have turned out to be more dynamic and exciting scores than Saving Private Ryan, though a true fan of the WWII fighting genre will easily be able to appreciate all three for what they are and how they represent their composers.
		The construction of the Band of Brothers album (and this could hold true with the show as well, once all ten hours are watched) is very similar to that of Saving Private Ryan, with a noble hymn/requiem built into a title theme at the beginning and end.
