Cornelius Ryan's novel is heralded as being one of the most in depth works on a specific battle during World War Two.

Cornelius Ryan's portrayal of this operation from beginning to end is one of the best-written accounts of what happened not only to the Anglo-American forces, but the Germans as well.

 Second World War Books: Review
Ryan interviewed hundreds of civilians and soldiers from many nations to prepare these books, filling them in large measure with eyewitness accounts and the ground-level stories of men and women caught in the blast of events.
Despite the emphasis on individual memories, Ryan carefully weaves the threads of personal vignettes into a coherent tapestry displaying the broader pattern of the unfolding campaigns.
Of course, Ryan with his journalist's credentials also had access to generals such as Eisenhower, Bradley, Montgomery, Rundstedt, Student, Heinrici, Koniev, Rokossovskii, and Chuikov, so not all his sources spent all their time in foxholes.

 Amazon.com: Last Battle: The Classic History of the Battle for Berlin: Books: Cornelius Ryan   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
The Last Battle, the second book of Cornelius Ryan's World War II trilogy, is a vivid and haunting account of the last days of Hitler's Third Reich and the fall of Berlin.
Ryan deals here not only with the fall of Berlin, but he also explores in detail the very complicated political and military issues behind Eisenhower's most controversial decision of the War: the Western Allies would not cross beyond the Elbe River to capture Hitler's capital.
Though Ryan's tone is impartial and he delves deeply into the wrangling between President Roosevelt, Prime Minister Churchill and Premier Stalin, the reader is still left with the impression that the plans dealing with Germany's postwar fate sowed the seeds of the Cold War which followed V-E Day.

Cornelius Ryan, born in Ireland in 1920, was perhaps more famous for his journalism with the U.S. Third Army during World War II and his subsequent books covering that era than for his time at Collier's.
Ryan joined Collier's in 1951, and in 1952 became the mediator between Collier's management and the scientists and engineers who would contribute to the Collier's space series.
He would go on to write such famous books as The Longest Day (1959), The Last Battle (1966) and A Bridge Too Far (1974) - books about significant events in World War II before his life was cut short by cancer at the age of 54.

Journalist Cornelius Ryan began working on the book in the mid-1950s, while the memories of the D-day participants were still fresh, and he spent three years interviewing D-day survivors in the United States and Europe.
Ryan was enormously skillful at weaving small personal stories into the overall narrative, and he would later use the same technique to depict the airborne invasion of Holland in A Bridge Too Far.
Not only is The Longest Day a pleasure to read, but subsequent historians, dutifully noting its accuracy, have relied heavily on Ryan's research for their own accounts.
