Seven days in hell

In June 1944, the Allies launched a massive amphibious invasion against Nazi-held France. But under the cover of darkness, a new breed of fighting man leapt from airplanes through a bullet-stitched, tracer-lit sky to go behind German lines. These were the Screaming Eagles of the newly formed 101st Airborne Division. Their job was to strike terror into the Nazi defenders, delay reinforcements, and kill any enemy soldiers they met. In the next seven days, the men of the 101st fought some of the most ferocious close-quarter combat in all of World War II.

Now, Donald R. Burgett looks back at the nonstop, nightmarish fighting across body-strewn fields, over enemy-held hedgerows, through blown-out towns and devastated forests. This harrowing you-are-there chronicle captures a baptism by fire of a young Private Burgett, his comrades, and a new air-mobile fighting force that would become a legend of war.

I could not fathom the topic based on the title, which was intriguing enough by itself (I was expecting an Indian story).
So it was a book of the accounts of an enlisted paratrooper's journey through initial boot camp, airborne school, D-Day, the skirmishes thereafter, and the ending philosophical furlough in England. There were many colorful (and graphic) accounts of encounters with the enemy. Most intriguing for me were the author's personal reactions and opinions (which I assumed were general representations the popular mindsets back then, though with some interesting idiosyncrasies of the author). The book was well written and narrated.

One young man's journey into the paratroopers and into the ETO of WWII. Many neat snippets of a soldier's life in a turbulent time.

A good first person account

All of the memoirs written by Donald Burgett Are classic mysteries of life in the 101st airborne division in World War II. I encourage horrible to make versions of all of his books and and unabridged format and I encourage everyone to read and listen to Donald Burgetts books.

Audible, please make an abridged version!

awesome story

This is one of the best accounts of WW2 combat. It is written by someone who did it, I saw some of what he saw and heard and felt, fortunately for us words could not describe the full terror.

excellent book

Donald Burgett describes his para training and Normandy fighting in a clear engaging way that makes for an excellent audio book.

Best thing I've listened to on Audible

This is from the mass media paper back. Donald Burgett deserves better. Currahee by Donald R Burgett and With the Old Breed by Eugene B Sledge are two of the most legendary, well written, & descriptive books written about World War Two. To chop up Donald Burgett’s account like this is sacrilegious. The unabridged version is as heart pounding and emotional and as close to getting the real horror and comradeship of war as a book could ever get. Just such a shame that audible decided on the butchered version. What’s left here is good but the full version is a priceless version of the turning point of the 2nd world war for the allies and the beginning of the end for the axis. Do better Audible.

Currahee is a good quick WWII action packed book. It does not measure up to Burgett's other book "Seven Roads to Hell" but is entertaining. Burgett goes from swearing in to being wounded in an hour and 41 minutes.

Would you try another book from Donald R. Burgett and/or David Guion?

Basically the same World War ll book. I have heard the same stories told in other books, but still interesting.

Currahee!

I read this back in the 1970's and absolutely loved the first person, up close, and personal storyline. For years I hoped to find the book transposed into an audio book. Finally it's here! Great narration for a great manuscript.

Up close and personal
