Larry Alexander (born January 28, 1951) is an American journalist and military historian who has written a number of books about World War II, most notably about Easy Company of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division of the U.S. Army.
Easy Company was made famous principally by Stephen Ambrose's book and the Band of Brothers (TV miniseries) of that name.
While with Lancaster Newspapers, he was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize in 2005 and has won state-level journalism awards.
He followed up his first success with Shadows In The Jungle: The Alamo Scouts Behind Japanese Lines In World War II and In the Footsteps of the Band of Brothers: A Return to Easy Company's Battlefields with Sgt.
He then co-authored A Higher Call with journalist and historian Adam Makos, which also made the New York Times and International best sellers lists; and Bloody Ridge and Beyond with Marlin Groft.
