Title: Riveting. You can't put it down.
Review: It's impossible to fail to recommend "The Longest Day" by Cornelius Ryan. It makes makes all of the uncertainties of war vivid and, in describing what would ultimately be a decisive victory, it shows the real (and tragic) results of errors in judgement, planning, and analysis ("Eisenhower 'lied' us into war," they'd say...). Most importantly, it shows a fighting spirit in the American and British military man that is unconquerable.It is motivating, sobering, humbling, and a superb reminder of the greatness that we are capable of when our leadership is as resolved as our soldiers and when we are willing to cast ourselves into the midst of uncertainty with the intent of creating certainty in its place.
