Longest Day: The Classic Epic of D Day
Longest Day: The Classic Epic of D Day | Cornelius Ryan
5 posts | 6 read | 3 to read
The classic account of the Allied invasion of Normandy. The Longest Day is Cornelius Ryan's unsurpassed account of D-Day, a book that endures as a masterpiece of military history. In this compelling tale of courage and heroism, glory and tragedy, Ryan painstakingly recreates the fateful hours that preceded and followed the massive invasion of Normandy to retell the story of an epic battle that would turn the tide against world fascism and free Europe from the grip of Nazi Germany. This book, first published in 1959, is a must for anyone who loves history, as well as for anyone who wants to better understand how free nations prevailed at a time when darkness enshrouded the earth.

My score is 11/100 and none of them stands out as a particular favorite. Yes, I‘m counting that I watched The Longest Day when I was eight years old, even though I slept through most of it. Perhaps I‘ll revisit it now that I understand the subject matter more! #TLT

Today I wrote about my favorite World War II history books. I really connect to this period because both my grandfathers were part of the war effort and saw the good and the ugly sides. This was such a pervasive part of life in the '40s and the stories that came out of it were so fascinating, they don't need any fiction!

TobeyTheScavengerMonk You should check out The Great Escape by Paul Brickhill and The Thin Red Line by James Jones if you haven't yet. 8y
brennahawleycraig @TobeyTheScavengerMonk I haven't done either! I will do both. My most recent ones were about D-Day because we went to Normandy over Christmas and next up we are visiting Pearl Harbor in November. I really like reading about the places in advance of seeing them! 8y
