Malarkey was one of several members of "Easy Company" to be widely portrayed in the HBO miniseries, "Band of Brothers." Malarkey met with historian Stephen Ambrose in 1987, and in 1989 traveled with other members of Easy Company to Europe to provide oral histories of their war experiences. Those recollections became the basis for `Band of Brothers" and an earlier book with the same name written by Ambrose. Malarkey also detailed his experiences in a 2008 autobiography written with Bob Welch, "Easy Company Soldier." He remained close to the other surviving members of Easy Company and attended his final Easy Company reunion in Portland, Oregon in August.
