    the Movie was Better
  

*by N***S on Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2024*

It was 40 years ago that I saw the movie, but my memory remembers the movie better than the book.  This is still an excellent book.

    The Single Best Book On D-Day Yet Written!
  

*by B***K on Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2000*

Famed author Cornelius Ryan has a unique and appealing way of telling a story that makes his books quite unique, and this huge best seller is no exception. Here he sets the stage for his brilliant trilogy on the war in  Europe by chronicling the events surrounding the fabled Allied sea-borne  assault in Normandy on June 6, 1944. Its total cost in terms of human life  and unnecessary destruction is a cautionary lesson for history.  Like his  other books, this is a story told at every level, but concentrating on the  faithful recollections of the actual participants in the action. Thus, the  reader is wept into the action as we get a voyeur's view of the  moment-to-moment development of the story as it unfolds in all its horrific  detail.There is a virtual cornucopia of information presented here, and  Ryan's approach is scrupulously faithful to the facts, all of them,  regardless of the source. Therefore, there is a great deal of attention  paid not only to the recollections and experiences of the Allied assault  troops, but to German defenders and French civilians caught in the terrible  crossfire of the opposing forces. This was the book that originated the  man-on-the-ground perspective that has been subsequently used to such  advantage both by Ryan and number of notable others. There is little  apparent effort here to color the results and make the Allies more  circumspect and less provocative in making and activating their  star-crossed assault. One gets the sense on reading this, as with each of  Ryan's three books on the European campaign, that this is the whole story  as best he could determine it, and he makes an extraordinary effort to  include as much relevant information by way of using both recollection and  contextual data to bolster a comprehensive picture of the battles as they  unfolded all over Normandy and its environs. The late author Ryan was  one of a handful of masterful storytellers and historians who emerged from  the Second World War to chronicle its events so masterfully. Like John  Toland, William Shirer, and a number of notable others, Ryan illuminated  and familiarized a generation of readers with the human stories of war and  destruction, and brought these otherwise unbelievable and incomprehensible  experiences home to a waiting world of ordinary and otherwise bewildered  citizens. This is one of the best of the efforts, shining the light of  truth on one of the greatest moments in modern history, when the Allies  stood fatefully in the breach, about to take the European continent back by  force of arms from the terrible totalitarian forces that had stolen it so  cruelly and violently four years before.

    Kindle version: very good
  

*by W***D on Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2014*

There is little to add about this classic book describing the D-Day landings in Normandy. The book itself is a landmark account of the action, with an effective mix of strategic, tactical, and personal information about the world-changing events. It's not the most deeply moving WWII account that I've read, but it is clearly and coherently told, and the chaos and horrors of war are well described. I would have appreciated a few maps as the action was described. In this review, I will focus on the Kindle edition. Since I have not seen the printed edition, I might be pointing to "flaws" in the Kindle presentation that are related to limitations of the print copy. Feel free to comment if you have read the print edition.The Kindle edition is a solid version of the text. I detected a few typos, but, overall, the transfer to electronic form has been highly successful.My reservations about the Kindle edition are in the placement and quality of the figures. The figures are grouped at the end of the text. I much prefer having the figures placed within the text at the points where they are directly relevant. Also, the figures are displayed too small to be appreciated in much detail. I would like to see a second Kindle edition with the figures enlarged, if the originals are of sufficient quality. You might want to check out the paper edition(s) to see if reproduction of the figures is better than that of the Kindle edition.I highly recommend this 4.5-star book to all readers. The accounts of WWII in my high school history books were completely inadequate, and this book should be part of the education of all Americans (not to mention Europeans). The current Kindle version is very good, but the figures are too small and would be better if appropriately interspersed with the text.
