The Longest Day
by Cornelius Ryan
If you have any interest in World War II, you’ve probably already read journalist Cornelius Ryan’s The Longest Day or at least watched the epic movie based on it (starring John Wayne, Richard Burton etc). Not only was Cornelius Ryan at D-Day himself, but he tells the stories of the men who lived through it, based on more than 1,000 interviews. The book was first published in 1959.
