Reviews for The Longest Day: June 6, 1944

If you have read all the accounts of D-Day or none of them, if you were in the fighting or on the sidelines, you will be spellbound, as I was, by this magnificent retelling of a glorious and tragic story. -- Lt. Gen. James Gavin A dramatic, moving masterpiece, a living memorial to the men who died and as suspenseful as the most gripping mystery story. -- J. H. Thompson, Chicago Sunday Tribune Fifty years from now, the history of D-Day, I am sure, will lean heavily on this book. -- John Toland, The New York Times Book Review
