Book Summary
The Longest Day is one of the best-selling military history books of all time. Its author, war journalist Cornelius Ryan, created a new style of military-history writing based on interview research with hundreds of battle participants. The book was made into the legendary war movie in 1962. This beautifully designed new archive edition is published to commemorate the 70th anniversary of D-Day in 2014. For the first time, Ryan's unabridged classic text is enhanced with the addition of 120 stunning photographs and the inclusion of 30 previously unpublished removable facsimile documents from the Cornelius Ryan Archive, as well as an audio CD featuring Ryan's original research interviews with those who fought this most famous and decisive battle.
Author Bio
Cornelius Ryan joined the London staff of Reuter's News Agency in 1941 and in 1943 he became a war correspondent for the London Daily Telegraph. His three classic Second World War books - The Longest Day, A Bridge too Far and The Last Battle - brought D-Day, Operation Market-Garden and the Battle for Berlin to life through his meticulous research.
