This used book in good condition chronicles his journey from expert marksman training at Camp Toccoa through pivotal WWII battles including D-Day and the Battle of the Bulge. Praised for its authentic narrative and emotional depth, it ranks top in Firearms & Warfare History and has earned a 4.7-star rating from over 1,000 readers. ## Description From D-Day to the Battle of the Bulge and more, here is the authorized biography of one of the most celebrated paratroopers of Easy Company, Sergeant Shifty Powers, the legendary sharpshooter from the Band of Brothers. Look for the Band of Brothers miniseries, now available to stream on Netflix! As a boy, Darrell “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 his fellow paratroopers. As one of the original men who trained at Camp Toccoa, Georgia, Shifty was one out of only two soldiers in Easy Company to initially earn the coveted expert marksman designation. He parachuted into France on D-day and fought for a month in Normandy; eighty days in Holland; thirty-nine in the harshly cold winter of Bastogne; and for nearly thirty more near Haguenau, France, and the Ruhr pocket in Germany. Shifty’s War is a tale of heroism and adventure, of a soldier’s blood-filled days fighting his way fromthe shores of France to the heartland of Germany, and the epic story of how one man’s skills as a sharpshooter and engagingly unassuming personality propelled him to a life greater than he could have ever imagined. Review: My "Sit Down" With Shifty Powers Courtesy of Marcus Brotherton - 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.

Definitely worth reading. *by B***G on July 24, 2025* Engaging book to read about Shifty. I have so much respect for him. A truly humble man. The book was written as though Shifty was speaking with me. It didn't disappoint. Emotional stories. I teared up at certain sections of the book. The greatest generation. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good book, good story, good man. *by A***R on October 10, 2016* This is a great book for anyone wanting to know more about the life of one of the lesser known yet indispensable members of Easy Co., BOB. It is an enjoyable read giving insight into how so many of the ordinary young men of that generation answered the call and in so doing became the extraordinary "Greatest Generation". Marcus Brotherton does a superb job of illuminating Shifty's life: showing who he was befor, during and after the war. The story of this kind, humble, and rock solid man, was a pleasure to read and makes one proud to be an American. I only wish he had lived next door or down the street, when I was growing up. But then he or someone like him probably did but just didn't share it like Brotherton has shared it with us. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/4597456-shiftys-war-the-authorized-biography-of-sergeant-darrell-shifty-powers](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/4597456-shiftys-war-the-authorized-biography-of-sergeant-darrell-shifty-powers) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-09-08*
