The Longest Day: June 6th, 1944 by Cornelius Ryan

5.0

I'm not generally interested in military history, nor do I tend to read very much in the way of non-fiction, but I'm certainly glad I gave this book a chance, because I was truly amazed by the skill that went into the construction of this book. It takes a truly talented person to craft together a text about a single day in military history and keep the reader enthralled from the first page to the last. I thought this was going to be a book that would take me a week or two, but instead, I polished it off in about 24 hours, and I was shocked to have come to the end, because I was ready for so much more.
