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

5.0

This book is obviously the product of an incredible amount of thoughtful research, and the final product reads like a typical novel with well-developed characters. It's interesting to feel that, but also know in the back of your mind that this all actually happened and that the "characters" are in fact real people. The footnotes are also delightful, since they often detail the ironies and twists of war.
