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.
Now deceased, Cornelius Ryan was among the preeminent war correspondents of his time, flying fourteen bombing missions with the Eighth and Ninth U.S. air forces, and covering the D-Day landings and the advance of General Patton's Third Army across France and Germany. In addition to The Longest Day, he was the author of numerous books, major magazine pieces, and a variety of plays, screenplays, and TV and radio scripts. Ryan was born and educated in Dublin, Ireland.

评分二战的战史,无论是书、传记还是电影都看过太多了,作为史实的d-day大多数人上中学的时候就已经耳熟能详。打开这本书的收获,必定不是知道这个事件本身。 对我自己而言,这本书的过人之处,在于能把人拉回d-day的前一天。 今天的我们,当然早已知道登陆的后果和参与这次行动的...
评分 评分有关诺曼底登陆的文学小说,看得不少。《兄弟连》里就描述得很多,现在还想起E连的伞兵们,在炮火辉煌时跳伞的壮观场面。诺曼底,基督山里的马赛,。。。。脱离文字过长时间,现在已经回忆不起诺曼底的故事。。。。。。
评分针对某个历史事件进行详细的描写和记录的作品,年初的时候读过《巴黎烧了吗》,这是第二本,作者同样是记者,笔触冷静,立场公正,却又饱含人道主义精神;能够把众多的信息有条不紊地分配好,一一展开,逻辑清晰,层层推进,步步展开,看得很顺;小的细节丰富而充实,大的构架...
