At D-Day's end, the Canadians, who had landed on Juno Beach, were six miles inland - the deepest penetration achieved by Allied forces on this infamous day. But every soldier on this front line knew worse was yet to come. For in the darkness the Germans were massing, intent on throwing them back to sea. With dramatic intensity, Holding Juno re-creates the ensuing battle and ultimate Canadian triumph and includes fascinating first-person soldier accounts as well as photos and maps.

A excellent listen well worth the time! One of the best books to truly shine a light on the actions of Canadians in one of the most critical battles of the war. Extremely well done.

Excellent review of the Canadian experience on D-Day

Detailed history seen from the eyes of the fighting soldier. Rich stories of personal experiences and the hardships suffered during the days post D-Day. Makes you proud to be a Canadian.

Wonderful history

Having visited Normandy twice, this book helped to bring alive the sites I visited and gave me a greater understanding and appreciation of what the Canadians actually did, and the importance of our contribution to the success of the Normandy Invasion and battle for the bridgehead. My only critique was the readers poor pronunciation of various Canadian unit names.

Canada save's Allied bridgehead in Normandy.

Poor choice of narrator for a very Canadian story. He mis-pronounces military ranks (loo tenant rather than left tenant), letters (zee for zed), Canadian city, river & ship names (e.g. Hay duh rather than High dah for Haida) which is frequently annoying and detracts from the story!
