Fight Like You Mean to Win
His comrades called him โKiller.โ Of the elite paratroopers who served in the venerated โBand of Brothersโ during the Second World War, none were more enigmatic than Ronald Speirs. Rumored to have gunned down enemy prisoners and even one of his own disobedient sergeants, Speirs became a foxhole legend among his troops. But who was the real Lieutenant Speirs?
Inย Fierce Valor, historians Jared Frederick and Erik Dorr unveil the fuller story of Easy Companyโs longest-serving commander. Tested by trials of extreme training, military rivalry, and lost love, Speirsโs international odyssey begins as an immigrant child in Prohibition-era Boston and continues through the bloody campaigns of France, Holland, and Germany. But 1945 did not mark an end to Speirsโs military adventures. Uncovered by sharp scholarship, his lesser-known exploits in Korea, the Cold War, and embattled Laos also come to light for the first time.
Packed with groundbreaking research,ย Fierce Valorย unveils a compelling portrait of an officer defined by boldness on the battlefield and the inherent costs of war. His story serves as a telling reminder that few soldiers escape the power of their own pasts.
Fans of Stephen E. Ambroseโsย Band of Brothersย will be drawn to this complex portrait of the controversial Ronald Speirs, an iconic commander of Easy Company during World War II, whose ferocious courage in three foreign conflicts was matched by his devotion to duty and the bittersweet passions of wartime romance.ย
