Shifty Powers was no conceited egomaniac who wanted to shine like like no other in his autobiography. Instead, his level-headedness and company spirit permeate the book. He writes about Easy Company, their jumps, their battles, their sorrows and friendships. A gentle soul, who was a gifted shot and saved many a life, his voice moves through the novel to explain the war and Easy Company's role in it. When I finished, I cried. A great patriot and a selfless soldier and man, this country is fortunate indeed to have had Shifty Powers on its side. A class act, a gentleman-soldier, Shifty Powers was what we all should aspire to be. The book is extremely well written and I highly recommend it. After you read the book, you will look at any garden differently.
I have read many of the Easy Company's biographies and this one is my favorite. It is told from the perspective of a country/ mountain boy who grew up hunting and fishing like me. His daddy taught him to shoot straight and not waste bullets or game; to be an honest ethical hunter and fisherman. Going to war was hell on earth; but his unique skills in the woods helped him survive and helped many of his fellow soldiers survive because he could shoot accurately and dependably. Then he came home and lived out his life as I would pray a veteran could. Thank God for people like Shifty Powers! He and his kind are what makes America the hope and dreams of so many in the world today.
I just finished reading Marcus Brotherton's book "Shifty's War." The book tells the story of Sergeant Darrell "Shifty" Powers who was the legendary sharpshooter for Easy Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division.I sent the following note to Marcus via his Facebook page. Thought I'd share it with you as it tells you why you need to go out buy this book and have a "sitdown" with Shifty and let him tell you his story.To Marcus Brotherton I wrote:Marcus, I just finished reading "Shifty's War." Marvelous job on your part.I have been home the past few days both recovering from sinus surgery and fighting off bronchitis that decided to pay me a visit. I happy to say the recovery is going well and I have the bronchitis on the run.On Thursday after I decided to start reading your book. I read half of it in one setting. It flowed very smoothly and was as if I was sitting next to Shifty hearing him tell his story. Very well done.I did not get a chance to read many pages of the book on Friday as I had a follow up appointment with ENT specialist and was feeling under the weather from bronchitis. I also did not get to read it this past Saturday.I woke today and after having breakfast, I decided it was time to continue the journey through Shifty's life as you brilliantly assembled it in his words on paper. Once again, I could not put the book down.As I read the book, I heard myself chuckle at times. I also found myself glued to every word. What an awesome story about a Great Man and Hero.I must admit that I got teary eyed as I chapter of the book in which Shifty described his illness and the loss of his unborn great grandson. As I read the last sentence on page 254, I noticed tears streaming down my cheeks. And yes, the legacy of of Shifty Powers continues.I want to thank you for writing this WONDERFUL book and telling Shifty's story. I encourage to write other books about the remaining members of Easy Company. Only you can tell their stories through words in the way their stories deserve to be told.God bless you and thank you again for such a wonderful book.[ASIN:B004XFZ8VE Shifty's War: The Authorized Biography of Sergeant Darrell "Shifty" Powers, the Legendary Sharpshooter from the Band of Brothers]
I've read most of the "first account" books written by members of Easy Company, so wasn't sure if I trusted a book written about a member of Easy Company by an author I hadn't heard of. Marcus Brotherton does a great job capturing the tone and wit of Shifty Powers. It helps that Shifty contributed to the Band of Brothers through interviews, so that reading his words was accompanied by the sound of those words. Some of the dialogue was lifted directly from the series, which was a little disappointing, because it seemed to leave Shifty's story for a few moments. I loved the last several chapters, because they capture a side of Powers that only his friends and family would know. I applaud Shifty's willingness to tell his post-war story, to include his struggles adjusting to civilian life and working through his vivid memories of war. Many of my students are also recovering from their service in Iraq and Afghanistan, so I'll suggest this book to them, as they work through their own tormented memories.
We who have reaped the reward's of freedom as secured by men like "Shifty" Powers cannot express in words the gratitude for their sacrifice of time and the loss of personal rewards of a daily life with family and friends during the hardships faced during their service to their country and to their fellow man. His humble attitude and his sense of duty to his country and family are the true definition s of a hero.
Since my husband's father knew these guys during the war, having fought with them from Normandy to Germany, and having watched the Band of Brother's 1-2 times a year, besides Major Winters, Shifty Powers is an icon of the war era. My husband's father is still alive and he and my husband have watched the movie together, 1 video each week, until completed. The stories coming from him during the viewing really opened up communication between them regarding that era. All this to say reading about the fellows of Easy company, Shifty among them, brings into focus the sacrifices of WWII vets and might explain the characters they became.
Amazing story about Shifty Powers , expert rifleman in the Band of Brothers Parachute Infantry Regiment. Shifty and men like him did their part in stopping one of the worst evils in human history . The unbelievable trauma these men went thru affected them for the rest of their lives. I don't think anyof them , due to their modesty, humility, and integrity, fully grasped what a great thing they did .To them, they were simply doing their duty. Truly the greatest generation . Thank you Shifty !
