Über den Autor

Cornelius Ryan joined the London staff of Reuter's News Agency in 1941. In 1943 he joined the staff of the London Daily Telegraph as a war correspondent. Ryan was at Normandy twice on D-Day, on a bomber flying over the beaches, and on a patrol boat that took him back after he landed in England. Upon the activation of Patton's 3rd Army in Normandy after D-Day, Ryan joined that force and covered its activities until the end of the war in Europe. His three classic World War 2 books - The Longest Day, A Bridge too Far and The Last Battle - brought D-Day, Operation Market-Garden and the Battle for Berlin to life through the meticulously researched stories of thousands of themen who fought on all sides in the last 11 months of World War 2 in Europe.
