Saving Private Ryan

A detailed Summary of Saving Private Ryan

June 6, 1944. Military forces converge on the beaches of Normandy for one of the most

decisive battles of World War Two. America would call this a victory. History would call it D-day. But for

Captain Miller and his squad of young soldiers, the day after the landing on Omaha Beach would change all of

there lives. They would get a special order from Washington ordering them to go on a personnel mission to save

one life. One soldier lost three of his brothers in combat. One on Omaha Beach, one on Utah Beach, and the

other in New Guinea. They realize this is not a simple mission to save a life but a test of their honor and duty.

Their sole obsession-and their last hope for redemption. Upon arriving at Omaha Beach Captain Miller was

faced with many problems. The Germans were awaiting the arrival of the American forces and attacked the ships

landing on the beach before the troops were even able to exit the boats. Many of Millers men were lost on the

beach along with many men from many other companies. Miller lead his mean along a wall on the beach and over

took German forces to escape with most of this troop in tact. What he didn't re

had all been killed in the war and the mother was left alone. The United States army was now ready to risk the

one is a very difficult decision to make. Especially when no one even knew if Private Ryan had even made it off

some of his men. He then reached a friendly base set up. Upon arriving at the base he received orders that his

lived of Captain Miller and seven of his men to try and save this one man just so his mother wouldn't have to lose

beaten, also agreed to stay and fight one last fight before going home. They managed to hold off the German

reached his goal and Ryan would make it home. I thought this was a very good book. I thought it made a very

good point about some of the difficult decisions facing the men in the middle of a hostile environment in another

country and the bravery shown by many men in the heat of battle. I can't say if I were placed in the same position
