Rating:  Summary: Terrifying, brutal, and most of all honest. Review: When we hear announcements of American forces being sent somewhere in the world, we do not know what that means. There is nowhere in modern America for us to gauge this experience, and sacrifice. This movie will help everyone to know just what battle can mean. We need to know personally of the sacrifice asked, and the stakes involved. The only other war movie that came close to imparting this experience was "Full Metal Jacket". There were instances in that film that were too surreal to be believed, however, I have no doubt that similar, stranger instances actually happened.My father fought in WWII, as did my Father-in-law. I visit my father-in-law at the veterans home in Peru Illinois, and can see the carnage that this war caused in the lives of those who made the sacrifice. This film will help everyone to understand that sacrifice.
Rating:  Summary: If you've seen the film, you MUST read this book. Review: Whether your interest is WWII, film making or accurate history, it's a book you must read, and have your kids read. It'll give you a better insight into the film. Keep it: It may be the only accurate reference to what really happened on June 6, '44 long after that date has no meaning to future generations. (Especially when, even now, most kids don't even know the significance or Dec. 7, 1941!)
Rating:  Summary: ONE DIRECTOR, ONE BOOK!! THIS BOOK!! Review: You want to read a book about war, about a movie and a mission, the mission of Steven Spielberg, you have to read this book cause of its great story, its great photographs and its creator Steven Spielberg and its great players Tom Hanks and the others!!!! It's worth the money!!! (And don't forget to watch the movie!!!)
