I echo RoyalTea's sentiment about the authenticity and agree that that is where alot of the original's appeal came from.

I'll be with it start to finish in hopes of another absolutely fantastic miniseries.

There are always ads pushing the BoB set near Father's Day.

It will be based on real events. Only one book has been licensed so far: E.B. Sledge's "With the Old Breed". I'm sure there will be others as well, and the final production will be a composite.

Really? That's awesome - one of my favorite books from my WWII course in college. I recommend this book to everybody - it's an excellent read - and a quick one, too.

That nugget of info made my day - thanks!
