Band of Brothers is not a documentary. It was made as a work of dramatic entertainment. The story—and it is a story—depicts handsome, earnest young men who face daunting challenges and bravely achieve great victories. Does Band of Brothers romanticize the story of Easy Company? Does it romanticize World War Two, or war in general? Is it significant that The History Channel’s on-air broadcast of Band of Brothers was sponsored by the U.S. Army?
