The compelling WWII correspondence and Artifacts of Major Dick Winters, commander of the Band of Brothers. --Bradford Freeman, Foreword.
Folks should know what we all went through during the war.
Hang Tough will help people better understand the man I knew and respected so much.
Hang Tough is a deeply intimate, timely reflection on a rising officer and the philosophies that molded him into a hero among heroes.
This engaging narrative offers a unique blend of personal wit, leadership ethics, and broader observations of a world at war.
Via the lost art of letter writing, the immediacy and honesty of Winters\'s observations takes us beyond the traditional accounts of the fabled 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment\'s Easy Company.
From stateside training to the hedgerows of Normandy, his correspondence immerses readers in the dramatic experiences of the 1940s.
Winters\'s heartfelt prose reveals his mindset of the moment.
Interwoven with previously unpublished diary entries, military reports, postwar reminiscences, private photos, personal artifacts, and rich historical context, Winters\'s Letters offer compelling insights on the individual costs and motivations of World War II service members.
His wartime correspondence with pen pal and naval reservist, DeEtta Almon, paints an endearing portrait of life on both the home front and battlefront--capturing the humor, horror, and humility that defined a generation.
Beneath this marble image of a reserved officer is the story of a common Pennsylvanian tested by the daily trials and tribulations of military duty.
His iconic World War II exploits have since been depicted in art and commemorated with monuments.
Hoisted as a modest hero who spurned adulation, Winters epitomized the notion of dignified leadership.
Major Dick Winters of the 101st Airborne gained international acclaim when the tale of he and his men were depicted in the celebrated book and miniseries Band of Brothers .
