Conversations with Major Dick Winters: Life Lessons from the Commander of the Band of Brothers

On the hellish battlefields of World War II Europe, Major Dick Winters led his Easy Companyâ€”the now-legendary Band of Brothersâ€”from the confusion and chaos of the D-Day invasion to the final capture of Hitlerâ€™s Eagleâ€™s Nest.

But Wintersâ€™s story didnâ€™t end there. It was only the beginning.

He was a quiet, reluctant hero whose modesty and strength drew the admiration of not only his men, but millions worldwide. Now comes the story of Dick Winters in his last years as witnessed and experienced by his good friend, Cole C. Kingseed.

Kingseed shares the formative experiences that made Winters such an effective leader. He addresses Wintersâ€™s experiences and leadership during the war, his intense, unbreakable devotion to his men, his search for peace both without and within after the war, and how fame forced him to make adjustments to an international audience of well-wishers and admirers, even as he attempted to leave a lasting legacy before joining his fallen comrades. Following Wintersâ€™s death on January 2, 2011, the outpouring of grief and adulation for one of this nationâ€™s preeminent leaders of character, courage, and competence shows just how much of an impact Dick Winters left on the world.

This is a story of leadership, fame, and friendship, and the journey of one manâ€™s struggle to find the peace that he promised himself if he survived World War II.
