IRB Intro Post #1: Band of Brothers

     Band of Brothers is a non-fiction book focusing on the 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division, and their struggles through the WWII. It was written by Stephen E. Ambrose, who wrote many books on American History, as well as a professor at the University of New Orleans.

     I chose this book because I've always had a fascination with WWII in general, and have read many different books on it, such as Code Talker by Joseph Bruchac, and Unbroken, by Laura Hillenbrand. However, both of them took place in the Pacific theater, so by reading Band of Brothers, I'll expect that I'll be able to learn more about the European theater.
