Through over 400 photographs the book is an outstanding insight into Easy Company, its training and campaigns. The majority of the photographs, maps and artifacts reproduced in this limited edition come from the private collection of Major Richard D. Winters, one of the most celebrated figures of World War II. This includes a set of photographs he acquired from the division headquarters’ official photographer, Al Krochka, in return for a German Luger pistol at the end of the war.

Other photographs in the book were taken by Easy Company soldiers.

• Amos ‘Buck’ Taylor: used colour Kodachrome film during training at Toccoa and Camp Mackall.

• Forrest Guth: carried Rod Strohl’s folding camera into combat on D-Day using a specially sewn pocket on his jump suit.

• Herb Suerth: left the line during the Battle of the Bulge to capture his comrades with a Falcon 120.

• Robert ‘Burr’ Smith: captured Easy Company in training using an Eastman Retina 35mm.
