Knowing his great-grandparents were part of the Second World War, this period in history has always held a special interest for him. After watching hundreds of documentaries and reading every book and article about World War Two that he could get his hands on, Ryan set out to write a book to share his passion with others. His goal is to help others understand and learn from what he believes is the greatest story in the history of humankind.
