From the man behind "Band of Brothers" comes a reflection on the relationships that bind men together. There are short pieces about the Eisenhower brothers, Nixon, Lewis and Clark and more. I enjoy his writing style and this one is short and packed with interesting info. ( ) This book was about male friendships. The book looked at friendships from the Eisenhower brothers to the author's father and him. It explain how the friendships began. Comrades also explained what they did together. The friendships usually had a big backstory to them, and began in a unusual way. Many of they stories involved more than two people usually three to four. I gave this book a four start rating. I gave this book a four star rating because it was very interesting, and always had me at a point where i wanted to not stop. A lot of the friendships involved adventure and that drew me in. The book was always having something interesting to talk about. This book was very good and that's why i gave it four stars. This is a collection of historical essays on friendship. Some of the subjects are historical figures that Ambrose has written about at length previously (Lewis and Clark, Eisenhower, Nixon, Crazy Horse, Custer, Easy Company) and some are personal (his brothers, his father, his college friends). This is easy reading for history, more character sketches and anecdotes than anything else, and through it Ambrose does make some interesting points about friendship and character. Some of the chapters are not well focused – the Easy Company in “Band of Brothers” is dealt with rather confusingly and reads more like a postscript to the book. This is worthwhile, but not compelling, reading. Stephen E. Ambrose, one of the most acclaimed and popular history writers of the 20th century, composes a moving book that examines the bonds formed between men as a result of both family and circumstance. A New York Times best-seller, Comrades looks at the lasting friendships of various men, from Sioux Indians to Ambroses own father and brothers. Reaching back through history, Ambrose describes the special relationship between Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, whose faith and trust in one another helped them survive their famous expedition. He pays homage to brothers, including such famous pairs as Dwight and Milton Eisenhower, and George and Tom Custer. Comrades will fascinate both history lovers and those interested in the different ways men learn to love and trust in shared friendships. näyttää 5/5 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

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 tells 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 Company 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. He recounts the friendships of Lewis and Clark and of Crazy Horse and He Dog. Ambrose remembers and celebrates the friends he has made and kept throughout his life. Comrades concludes with the author's recollection of his own friendship with his father. He was my first and always most important friend, Ambrose writes. I didn't learn that until the end, when he taught me the most important thing, that the love of father-son-father-son is a continuum, just as love and friendship are expansive.
