**The New York Times bestseller that tells the true story of the life
of Major Dick Winters, the man who led the Band of Brothers in World War
II.
In every band of brothers, there is always one who looks out for the
others.*
They were Easy Company, 101st Army Airborne--the World War II fighting
unit legendary for their bravery against nearly insurmountable odds and
their loyalty to one another in the face of death. Every soldier in this
band of brothers looked to one man for leadership, devotion to duty, and
the embodiment of courage: Major Dick Winters.
This is the riveting story of an ordinary man who became an
extraordinary hero. After he enlisted in the army's arduous new Airborne
division, Winters's natural combat leadership helped him rise through
the ranks, but he was never far from his men. Decades later, Stephen E.
Ambrose's Band of Brothers made him famous around the world.
Full of never-before-published photographs, interviews, and Winters's
candid insights, Biggest Brother is the fascinating, inspirational
story of a man who became a soldier, a leader, and a living testament to
the valor of the human spirit--and of America.
