He has several out that I can think of: Band of Brothers D-Day Citizen Soldiers The Victors Americans at War Eisenhower (or Ike, I can't remember) plus a couple of other books, one about Lewis and Clark, and I can't remember what the other one's about. I am reading Americans at War right now, it's a collection of essays that he has written about the wars that the US has been involved in. Pretty good stuff...

I loved Schindler's List too, but B of B was even more compelling. I m an avid reader so I'll definately pick this book up. Thanks, Sue* -------Original Message------- Yes, it is....you can probably find it in any bookstore now.....this week's episode was even more moving than Schindler's list, I thought, because it caught the emotions of not only the prisoners, but of the soldiers too....and let me say that I wouldn't wish Joe Liebgott's agony about telling the prisoners that they had to return to the camp on anyone....
