I started a whole new book name "The Longest Day" by Cornelius Ryan. The book is about D-day which is the Allied invation of Hitler's Europe in WW2. This book doesn't have any perticular main character. The Book shifts between perspectives of the eyewitness of the event. I'm half way through the book. It's mostly about the preparation of each side and part of the night airborne operation.
