Book Reviews of Parachute Infantry: An American Paratrooper's Memoir of D-Day and the Fall of the Third Reich

Book Review: The indeapth story from Band of Brothers
Summary: 5 Stars

This book really takes you beneath some of the important events from training for D-Day to the end of world war Two. It brings you into the mind of one who was there. It is a great accompliment to Band of Brothers and fills in the human story that is sometimes missing. Where Band of Brothers lets us know the historical background of what happened, Webster lets us know how the footsoldier saw his superiors and judged their decisions. He explains the highs and lows and his reflections of conquering Europe and how he reacted to Europeans and how the different people reacted to him. This book is at times a deep spiritual journey that is a must for anyone interested in how and why men did what they did. Why it was refused for publication in the 1950's beggers believe.
Webster's illustrations of maps and soldiers and his letters to his parents are worth it on their own.
