    A popular classic

    It's not a book written for military experts and surely instructors at the War College will choke on it, but it's the classic that sold well and made possible the publication of other books about a war that was already being forgotten. One of the reasons it sold well, I'm sure, is that it's about an Allied victory achieved at enormous cost. I mean, look at who landed on D-Day: Americans, French, British, and Canadians. And of course we won. Ryan's equally well-researched follow-up book, "A Bridge Too Far," was also about an Allied operation, "Market Garden," involving airborn troops in Holland. But the operation was a failure and nobody wanted to read about a failure. Let the world know if you find a book with a title like, "The Battle of the Java Sea," would you? A long and ...

    Brilliant story of the most crucial day of the 20th Century.

    This was the first of the Cornelius Ryan Trilogy (the others being "The Last Battle" and "A Bridge Too Far") and shows Ryan's style for in-depth reporting of a famous battle. The book was made into a huge, blockbuster movie in the '60's but sections must have been used for "Saving Private Ryan". By interviewing members of both sides of the battle, plus the civilians caught in the middle, Ryan writes an incredible story that displays the excitement, the terror, and even the small pieces of humor, that make up huge battles. Any history student interested in WWII should put this book at the top of their list.

    great deal

    nick book, thanks, will do business again. I bought the NewPhone 74205 three weeks ago and was immediately impressed with the number of features available on this inexpensive phone. It has a 1M-pixel camera, video camera, and speakerphone. The NewPhone's size is perfect for carrying in a pocket and the battery has a pretty good lifespan of roughly 4 hours. My only complaint is that the menu system on the phone makes you click four times before you can find someone in the address book, set an alarm, or perform a additional functions. Other phones I've owned have simpler menus and get you to important features easily. Overall, I'd recommend the phone if you're on a budget.
