Books by Ian Gardner

As one of the last surviving members of the Band of Brothers, the author wanted to commit his memories of the Second World War to paper to preserve the legacy of the men who served with him in Europe. This is his wartime biography, a tale of fierce combat, doggedly determined drive for survival and astounding bravery.

The exploits of the 3rd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment have long been overshadowed by those of Easy Company, 2nd Battalion. Yet the actions of the 3rd Battalion during the D-Day landings were every bit as incredible. This title offers an account of the experiences of the 3rd Battalion from training through to D-Day and beyond.
