Juno Beach - a review

Andrew at Bound By Gravity has reviewed Mark Zuehlke's book entitled Juno Beach: Canada's D-Day Victory: June 6, 1944. His thoughts on Zuehlke's work are interesting:

The veterans themselves are truly the stars of Juno Beach. Their memories are most often not of high level plans, but of the minutiae of the chaos that engulfed them as they stormed off their landing craft, manned their mine sweepers in front of the invasion fleet, bombed enemy strong points, flushed snipers from hiding, or parachuted into hostile territory. The memories of their friends' final acts are almost heartbreaking to read at times; who else but a friend would remember the name of an unsung private who died before breaching the seawall? Yet the names pile up as you turn the pages - buddies who never returned, comrades who had to be left behind.

Another book for my Sisyphean reading list.
