review 1: Shifty was with Easy Company - 'Band of Brothers.' This will give you an idea right off the bat on how this book goes. The author, Marcus, does a pretty good job in putting this story together. Marcus never met face to face with Darrell "Shifty" Powers. He did have some phone interviews with him. Most of the story comes from his 'buddies, hometown friends and his family. The story is worth the read. I enjoyed it because I felt he was Telling his own story. His story is told in the trenches.
review 2: This book was not actually written by Shifty himself even though it is in first person. The introduction actually states while it was written in first person even though it was published after he had already died in 2009. But to me it didn't much matter. It was a... more good book. Shifty was a strong, brave man. He fought his for his country and saw more than any 21-year-old should see, and all he wanted was a live a quiet life. I highly recommend this book if you are interested in learning more about the Band of Brothers and the men who fought. less
