I bought "Band of Brothers" but haven't gotten around to reading it. I'd also like to read Major Winters' autobiography.

READ THEM BOTH!! In his autobiography he talks about the British couple who he lived with in England, incredible people. Also more details of the men who he commanded in easy company that Ambrose didn't have room for in Band of Brothers. Read Band of Brothers first, though. Both are great reads, very captivating, never boring from beginning to end. Trust me, FRiend.

There is another book about Major Winters that you might like called “Biggest Brother”

Steven Ambrose was a terrific writer. I started reading his book on the Lewis and Clark expedition, but my time ran out and I had to get it back to the library. I'll get it again.

The man just had a gift for words, and did NOT deserve the treatment the elitist media and so-called intelligentsia gave him with their charges of plagarism.
