Description

Some men are born to be warriors, and Ed Shames is one of those men. His incredible combat record includes service at D-Day,
Operation "Market Garden", Bastogne and finally in Germany itself. He was one of the first men in the Dachau concentration camp
and helped capture Hitler's infamous "Eagle's Nest". Shames featured in Band of Brothers but now, with the comprehensive support of the man himself, the full story of his experiences can be told. Written by the co-author of Tonight We Die As Men this is a searing account of the combat career of a remarkable young lieutenant during World War II. His insistence on high standards
together with a perfection of tactics and techniques did not always win him friends but that was never the intention. His aim was
to win each encounter, each battle and ultimately the war itself with a minimum loss of life amongst his men. He was once told by one of his subordinates, "Shames, you are the meanest, roughest son of a bitch I've ever had to deal with. But you brought us home."
