Darn good job analyzing what need be done when all hell breaks loose! All should read! Engrossing short narrative synthesis built from official diaries and eye-witness testimonies. New to me was to learn how much of the Allies' plan went wrong from the start. Fortunately the Germans were slow to react to clues the invasion was happening. Otherwise, judging by this telling, D-Day could have gone down as a disaster. The author could have gone into more detail on two ancillary strategic matters: the disinformation campaign that convinced the Germans the invasion would come elsewhere, and the actions of Resistance and commando units throughout France to wreck railways and rolling stock which would have brought up reinforcements, since these were as key to the success of the campaign as the immediate events. A bizarre omission in my later edition is to not have included a D-Day map. The five stars are earned by the way the author has distilled an enormous amount of evidence, concerning many people, places and events, into a readable story that clearly explains both the strategic overview and many individual moments and experiences. Uno de los libros mas amenos, sugestivos y conmovedores que se han escrito sobre la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Una obra maestra en la que conocemos a los personajes que intervinieron en la hazana mas decisiva de la guerra, que es lo que pensaban los soldados de ambos bandos, cual era su estado de animo y como lucharon aquel 6 de junio de 1944. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

HTML: The classic account of the Allied invasion of Normandy The Longest Day is Cornelius Ryan's unsurpassed account of D-day, a book that endures as a masterpiece of military history. In this compelling tale of courage and heroism, glory and tragedy, Ryan painstakingly re-creates the fateful hours that preceded and followed the massive invasion of Normandy to retell the story of an epic battle that would turn the tide against world fascism and free Europe from the grip of Nazi Germany. This book, first published in 1959, is a must for anyone who loves history, as well as for anyone who wants to better understand how free nations prevailed at a time when darkness enshrouded the earth. .Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
