Synopsis
His comrades in Easy Company called him "Killer." No paratrooper in the legendary "Band of Brothers" was more enigmatic than Ronald Speirs. Rumored to have gunned down enemy prisoners and even one of his own disobedient sergeants, he was one of World War II's most storied soldiers. But who was the real Ronald Speirs? Fierce Valor is the story of Easy Company's longest-serving commander. Born in Scotland and raised in Boston, Speirs pursued a military career that took him through some of the bloodiest campaigns of the European theater, subjecting him to every imaginable trial. But 1945 was not the end of Speirs's adventures. His lesser-known exploits in Korea, the Cold War, and embattled Laos come to light for the first time in this book. Packed with groundbreaking research, Fierce Valor is a compelling account of boldness on the battlefield and the terrible demands of war. Fans of Stephen Ambrose's Band of Brothers will be drawn to this well-rounded depiction of one of Easy Company's most colorful and controversial figures, a soldier whose ferocious courage in three foreign conflicts was matched by his devotion to duty and the bittersweet passions of wartime romance., Fans of Stephen E.

Ambrose's Band of Brothers 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. Fight Like You Mean to Win His comrades called him "Killer." Of the elite paratroopers who served in the venerated "Band of Brothers" during the Second World War, none were more enigmatic than Ronald Speirs. Rumoured 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? In Fierce Valor , historians Jared Frederick and Erik Dorr unveil the fuller story of Easy Company's longest-serving commander. Tested by trials of extreme training, military rivalry, and lost love, Speirs's 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 Speirs's 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, Fierce Valor 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.
