Saving Private Ryan

I post this last year but I don't think the blog was good enough so I wrote it again =))

I read the book and watched the movie but i don't know which came first.

The story started with the intense battle at Omaha Beachead Assualt(simply a battle).

It is a very good book. It was set during the Invasion of Normandy in World War II(2). The plot of the story is about a Private(soldier) called James Francis Ryan is lost and there was a sqad(team) looking for him. Ryan and his three brothers was in the war but sadly both his brothers has been KIA(Killed In Action). The search become more hard when they croosed over Normandy territory. The reason the commander has ordered the team to save private Ryan because of the sake of Ryan's mother(she recieved three notices in a day about the death of three brothers and a notice about Ryan being MIA or missing in action).

The team wasn't happy about this because why would we risk 8 lives for 1 but they went on the mission anyway. The team was lead by Captain John H Miller(Tom Hanks). Vin Diesel was also in the movie but sadly he was wounded by a sniper and die. The funny part in the book was when they found a soldier who was also called James Fredrick Ryan. When the captain talked about the news of his brothers and the soldier replied that they were in kindergarden.

Overall, this is a very good book, it uses a lot of military language, which was suitable.
