Scheduled as a ten-week series, it will be backed by one of the largest promotional budgets in HBO history. The audience -- from military history buffs to veterans and their children and grandchildren -- is sure to want copies of this official tie-in book.Stephen E. Ambrose is contributing a new Foreword to his magnificent chronicle of the men of Easy Company from basic training to the dangerous parachute landings on D-Day, to the Battle of the Bulge and the triumphant capture of Hitler's "Eagle's Nest" in Berchtesgarden. A tale of heroic adventures and soul-shattering confrontations, it brings to life, as only Stephen E. Ambrose can, the profound ties of brotherhood forged in the barracks and on the battlefields.
