One of the classics

This book began my long interest in military history. Mr Ryan brought the events of the day together in a way that was intense and intimate. I strongly recomend this book to be read by any young reader who wants to understand the heroism of a past age.

A classic on World War II

This is one of my favorite history books, because it it is a riveting account that honors the men who sacrificed so much for freedom. As a 14 year old living in Tripoli, Libya, I was awe-struck by the movie "The Longest Day." The Allied soldiers in that dramatic account became my heroes (and they are to this day 32 years later). The book, which the movie was based upon, is every bit as dramatic as the movie.

One of the classics

This is a great D-Day story. Were it not for "D-Day" by Stephen Ambrose, this would be THE D-Day book. Nonetheless it is an extremely good book. It's informative yet very easy to read. It's historical but has a personal feel to it. Read "D-Day" by Stephen Ambrose. You'll love both books.

Intense and Personal

One of the greatest books on military history ever written, and certainly the best on D-Day. It harkens back to the days of a personal and international heroism that is lacking in the modern age. Ryan does and excellent job of weaving individuals into the story, while spanning one of the largest military operations of all time. It is very reminiscent of Shaara's "The Killer Angels," which also focuses on the thoughts and goals of famous historical characters. An absolutely superb book, with hints of Sledge's "With the Old Breed" and Ryan's own "A Bridge Too Far."
