description: Comrades is a celebration of male friendships. Acclaimed historian Stephen Ambrose begins his examination with a glance inward - he starts this book with his brothers, his first and forever friends, and the shared experiences that join them for a lifetime, overcoming distance and misunderstandings. He next writes of Dwight D. Eisenhower, who had a golden gift for friendship and who shared a perfect trust with his younger brother Milton in spite of their apparently unequal stations. With great emotion, Ambrose describes the relationships of the young soldiers of Easy Comapny who fought and died together from Normandy to Germany, and he recalls with admiration three unlikely friends who fought in different armies in that war. Ambrose remembers and celebrates the friends he has made and kept throughout his life.
