On Juno Beach: Canada's D-Day Heroes tells the story of the Canadian soldiers who were involved in the famous military operation that took place on June 6, 1944. The book begins by talking about some of the events that led to the landing at Normandy. It goes on to describe various parts of the operation, from the parachuting of troops behind enemy lines to the advances of the front line, in addition to the bombing of German defences. The text is supported by many first-hand accounts and photographs that will help the reader understand the seriousness of war.
