In 1943 he joined the staff of the London <i>Daily Telegraph</i> as a war correspondent. Ryan was at Normandy twice on D-Day, and his three classic World War II books--<i>The Longest Day</i>, <i>A Bridge Too Far</i>, and <i>The Last Battle</i>--brought D-Day, Operation Market-Garden, and the Battle for Berlin to life through the meticulously researched stories of thousands of the men who fought on both sides in those campaigns. In 1947 Ryan joined Time, Inc. and emigrated to the USA. He died in 1974, just two months after the publication of <i>A Bridge Too Far</i>. <p/> Doug McCabe, who wrote the introduction, is Curator of the Cornelius Ryan Archive, based at the Ohio University Libraries. The archive comprises research papers and files for all three of Ryan's battle books.
