Product Reviews101st Airborne : The Screaming Eagles in World War II by Mark Bando (2007, Hardcover, Revised edition)

101 st Airborne

The book is fantastically written. You can tell by reading the book the author Mark Bando has done alot work researching the subject matter. He tells the story of the 101st in the words of the vets. The book flows well, and has a good balance of photos, and narrative. I've read numerous books on the subject matter of the 101 st during WWII, and this book ranks up there with the best ones I've seen so far. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I have so far. It's a keeper and hard to put down once you've started.Read full review...

First-rate WWII military history book

Although there are many WWII military history books written about U.S. paratroops, some are on the tedious or dull side. This book is the kind you can't put down--eye-catching photos of impressive quality and pithy anecdotes of the great exploits of the Screaming Eagles. Every person who thought 'Band of Brothers' was the definitive work on the 101 in WWII needs to pick up this book and get, as Paul Harvey would say, the rest of the story. The book is invaluable to collectors because of its multitude of quality period photos and photos of authentic militaria from the collection of one of the foremost WWII paratroop historians extant. Kudos to Mark Bando for this great contribution to history and historians.Read full review...

Bananas

I had a friend who is pictured in this book.

Photos showed some water damage but did not show where pages had been separated and the print and pictures no longer exist.
Bugs flew out of the book when opened
Poorly packed so book would flop around while in transit.Read full review...

I bought this for my Dad, who is now 87. He was one of these 101st Airborne heros, who jumped in on D-Day , fought the Battle of the Buldge, etc. I thought it would bring him pleasure.
