I read about that in USA Today the other morning, sounds like another great WWII hit from the brothers Hanks/Speilberg !
Can't wait for it to hit the regular channels!

I loved the book by Stevens E Ambros Band of Brothers and I loved the show. Dose anyone know if this show is also based on a book?

It is actually based on the memoirs of two soldiers along with additional other sources, such as
With the Old Breed by Eugene Sledge
Helmet for My Pillow by Robert Leckie
The series will tell the stories of the two authors and Marine John Basilone
I have been waiting for this series for the past 3 years since the production has been announced.
