Easy Company is a company in World War II that was created to be a company of replacement soldiers. The members of the company were originally from different branches of the military and were chosen based on their skills. One Sergeant, Robert W.Don Malarkey was an expert combatants with his own dog tags and killed more than 80 Nazis during his time as a soldier in Easy Company.

For Bob Welch, the journey began in 1941. After enlisting into the United States Army, he was assigned to Easy Company of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment. It took Easy Company only 18 days to be parachuted into Normandy. They spent more than four months fighting and liberating Europe from the Nazis. The war ended in 1945 with many casualties among them Welch's squad leader, Norman Dike.

Easy Company was one of the most famous and successful platoons in the history of America during World War II. The platoon was made of elite soldiers, some who had never seen combat before. They were known as "the Band of Brothers" because they were so close in a way that's almost unheard of today. The company fought in over thirty major battles, including a few with the German army, and won them all for the Allied forces.

Easy Company, from Band of Brothers, is one of the most popular US Army units in history. The soldiers fought in the Battle of Normandy and their hard work paved the way for victory. Welch gives a detailed study of how to survive and thrive as a soldier during World War II. Easy Company's battles are depicted in this book.

Bob Welch's Easy Company soldier, Don Malarkey, describes the battles that he was a part of during World War II. This book provides a unique perspective of what it was like to fight in a war that is little explored by historians.

To serve as an Easy Company soldier in World War II, a person must be willing to do what most men wouldn't or couldn't. Bob Welch captures this idea with his portrayal of the sergeant from Band of Brothers.
