Cornelius Ryan: A Bridge Too Far, The Longest Day por Cornelius Ryan
This LOA volume contains the most well known historical narratives of D Day & the 1944 British attempt to cross the Rhine which nearly collapsed. The Longest Day was made into a film in the early 60s & remains a standard for war time films. A Bridge Too Far, a narrative of a battle that delayed the end of the war longer because of unanticipated problems. These 2 narratives are based on interviews with those who participated in these 2 events.
This is the rugged, true and tragic history of Operation: Marketgarden. Mr. Ryan does a grand job of introducing us to the men involved in this operation, from the generals down to the cooks. The only trouble is that this is the largest operation of World War II and there are just too darn many of them to keep straight. So you just have to slog forward (somewhat like they did) and trust in the author. With that in mind, you are treated to the grand sweep of the plan, the infeasibility of key parts of it and the personal cost and valor involved in attempting it. Good maps and photos, too.… (mais)
Almost done June 2023! Darn good job analyzing what need be done when all hell breaks loose! All should read!
