A salute to a fellow badger, a great writer, and an even better narrator

He is the one who wrote Band of Brothers.

I've learned a lot about WWII veterans reading his works. A great loss.

me too .. loved BoB (the book and the HBO series) and D-Day was a bit tough to get through but it was really good. Right now I am reading Rise to Globalism with school. Not amazing, but good/solid. Lot's of interesting details on American foreign policy.

Sad to see him go.

I only remember him from the lectures that my english prof gave about plagarism. I didnt read any of his stuff, but I heard it was quite good.

Last good book I read was by him.

Citizen Solders.

I have it loaned out to a guy I work with right now, and everyday he has something new to talk about that he learned from that book.

He will be missed.........

At least by us History buffs.
