I just finished the book "Untold Stories from the THE BAND OF BROTHERS" by Marcus Brotherton.  It told the stories of some of the men of Easy Company that were not featured in the HBO series,or the book.  Shifty Powers was one of those men covered in that book.  If you liked the BOB series and/or book, I would highly reccomend this one as well.

<S> Shifty!
