About this listen
On June 6, 1944, the greatest armada in history stood off Normandy and the largest amphibious invasion ever began as 107,000 men aboard 6,000 ships pressed toward the coast. Among them were 14,500 Canadians, who were to land on a five-mile-long stretch of rocky ledges fronted by a dangerously exposed beach.
Drawing on personal diaries as well as military records, Juno Beach: Canada's D-Day Victory, June 6, 1944 dramatically depicts Canada's pivotal contribution to the critical Allied battle of World War II.

Juno Beach: Canada's D-Day Victory, written by prolific military historian Mark Zuehlke, recreates June 6, 1944, from start to finish in impressive detail. The retelling of this iconic day in history is incredibly well-researched, informed by both historical records and comprehensive veteran accounts. World War II buffs will find the harrowing personal stories in Juno Beach particularly compelling. American actor and voice-artist Steve Kehela gives a dramatic performance. His strong and clear voice suits this audiobook's tone precisely. His skilled pacing makes this 14-hour military tome approachable for even the armchair historian.

Good History, Bad Pronunciation
I was excited to be able to listen to some Canadian history here on Audible! A major military victory by Canada in WWII seemed like a great place yo start. Historically this book is great... but the reader... terrible.
No self respecting Canadian would ever pronounce names like this reader does.
For an audio book i am sure is only consumeed by Canadians, this reader is a complete embarrassment.
Serously bad.

Excellent study of this important event
I wanted to know more about the Canadian experience of the Normandy invasion and this work does an excellent job addressing the June 6 landing.
A great examination of the facts overall with personal stories from veterans points of view told with typical Canadian compassion.
