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.

Editor reviews

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.

The reader's ability to mangle Luftwaffe and coxswain took me out the narrative and made me wonder if it was a Canadian pronunciation?

bravery and heroism of the Canadian soldiers

A well-written and engaging history. The mispronunciation of French place names, foreign names and unit names (particularly ‘Luftwaffe’) grated throughout, however.

Well Written History but Mispronunciations Grated

Incredibly detailed (perhaps too detailed?) this provides information by the spade-full, for those interested in military and Canadian history.

BUT be warned, the narrator is abysmal.

You would think it would be a prerequisite that to present such a work, would at least require some familiarity with the content. Yet this chap obliterates French place names, murders German military ranks and tortures well known Titles, Organisations etc., from start to finish.
Come on, even my 10 year old can pronounce "Luftwaffe", whilst it can't take much to think that the PIAT might sound like FIAT.
A pity, because it really detracts from an otherwise very interesting topic.

Detailed, Informative, but terribly narrated

a most enlightening listen which has expanded my knowledge of this conflict and given me a new perspective.

it might just be a case of accent but I found some pronunciation odd and certain words changed over the course of the book, others did not.

great listen

This book gives a nice insight into the build-up and execution of the d-day landings on Juno Beach, through eyewitness accounts from both sides.

The narrator is average, but he has some annoying pronunciations errors like Luftwaffaah instead of Luftwaffe or german airforce. Don’t be put of though. The book is a must read/listen, if you want a bigger and more nuanced picture of D-day, than what most American/UK history books tell.
