Summary
The national bestselling World War II memoir with a foreword by John McCain.As part of the elite 101st Airborne paratroopers, Lt. Lynn 'Buck' Compton fought in critical battles of World War II as a member of Easy Company, immortalized as the Band of Brothers.This is the true story of a real-life hero. From his years as a two-sport UCLA star who played baseball with Jackie Robinson and football in the 1943 Rose Bowl, through his legendary post-World War II legal career as a prosecutor, in which he helped convict Sirhan Sirhan for the murder of Robert F. Kennedy, Buck Compton's story truly embodies the American Dream: college sports star, esteemed combat veteran, detective, attorney, judge.'Second Platoon was indeed 'blessed' to have Buck Compton as our leader. He was a quiet and strong officer who, above all, listened and talked to all men under his command. I could never say enough to express my thanks and admiration for Buck Compton.'-William 'Wild Bill' Guarnere
