This is one of those books that I know was read years ago but did not own until years later. Nonetheless, it does take you back to a time early in my life with a gripping account of the participants. The day can never be forgotten. It is an hour by hour account but of course there is some literary license taken and the author has a novelist's flair to bring the dreadful events to light.
