Beschreibung:
Cornelius Ryan joined the London staff of Reuter's News Agency in 1941. In 1943 he joined the staff of the London Daily Telegraph as a war correspondent. Ryan was at Normandy twice on D-Day, on a bomber flying over the beaches, and on a patrol boat that took him back after he landed in England. Upon the activation of Patton's 3rd Army in Normandy after D-Day, Ryan joined that force and covered its activities until the end of the war in Europe. His three classic World War 2 books-The Longest Day, A Bridge too Far and The Last Battle-brought the battles to life through the meticulously researched stories of thousands of men who fought on all sides in the last 11 months of World War 2 in Europe. Doug McCabe is Curator of the Cornelius Ryan Archive, which is based in Ohio University Libraries.
First published in 1959 The Longest Day is one of the best-selling military history books of all time, and was the basis for the legendary war movie in 1962 released by 20th Century Fox.
