The Authorized Biography of Sergeant Darrell "Shifty" Powers, the Legendary Sharpshooter from the Band of Brothers
From the national bestselling author of We Who Are Alive and Remain and A Company of Heroes comes a poignant memoir about Sergeant Darrell “Shifty” Powers—the highly respected and internationally known Band of Brothers soldier.
As a boy growing up in the remote mining town of Clincho, Virginia, Shifty Powers’s goal was to become the best rifle shot he could be. His father trained him to listen to the woods, to “see” without his eyes. Little did Shifty know his finely-tuned skills would one day save his life—and the lives of many of his friends.

Endorsements
“Shifty was my squad leader during the battle of Bastogne. I knew him to be an exceptional soldier and an honorable man. There are so many excellent parts to this book. When you read Shifty’s War, it’s as though he was here again, and you are sitting down with Shifty on his front porch, talking with him while he sips a beer and smokes a cigarette.”

Throughout this book, you'll get to know ‘Shifty’ as a quiet, humble man who loved his family above anything else, served his country with pride, and did not seek the limelight. It sought him—much to his amazement.”
