The national bestselling World War II memoir by Buck Compton, a hero from the famed Band of Brothers, with a foreword by John McCain.

Look for the Band of Brothers miniseries, now available to stream on Netflix!

As part of the elite 101st Airborne paratroopers, Lt. Lynn ""Buck"" Compton fought in critical battles of World War II as a member of Easy Company, immortalized as the Band of Brothers.

This is the true story of a real-life hero. From his years as a two-sport UCLA star who played baseball with Jackie Robinson and football in the 1943 Rose Bowl, through his legendary post-World War II legal career as a prosecutor, in which he helped convict Sirhan Sirhan for the murder of Robert F. Kennedy, Buck Compton's story truly embodies the American Dream- college sports star, esteemed combat veteran, detective, attorney, judge.

Reviews for Call of Duty: My Life Before, During and After the Band of Brothers

"""Second Platoon was indeed 'blessed' to have Buck Compton as our leader. He was a quiet and strong officer who, above all, listened and talked to all men under his command. I could never say enough to express my thanks and admiration for Buck Compton."" -William ""Wild Bill"" Guarnere"
