I prefer to hear it from the horses mouth so to speak, but then..they were soldiers, not writers. I hear Ambrose was great at telling these stories..so I may give it a go. I'll look into Burgett too.
If you also have an interest in Vietnam, I highly recommend Philip Caputo's A Rumor of War.

I liked Dick Winter's book, but the actual book entitled Band of Brothers is better.
If you want a great read, check out Donald Burgetts book on Bastogne.
