They trained hard. They fought harder. They never left each other behind. Band of Brothers by Stephen Ambrose is a 5-star read. No reservations.

I finished book 20 which was James R. Benn's deluxe edition of "Billy Boyle: A World War II Mystery". This is the first of a mystery series set in a fictional version of WWII. Billy Boyle is a young detective reporting to Ike to solve difficult mysteries. Great book!
