Publisher's Summary

The ninth book in the Canadian Battle Series, Breakout from Juno, is the first dramatic chronicling of Canada's pivotal role throughout the entire Normandy Campaign following the D-Day landings.

On July 4, 1944, the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division won the village of Carpiquet but not the adjacent airfield. Instead of a speedy victory, the men faced a bloody fight. The Canadians advanced relentlessly at a great cost in bloodshed. Within 2 weeks the 2nd Infantry and 4th Armoured divisions joined coming together as the First Canadian Army.The soldiers fought within a narrow landscape extending a mere 21 miles from Caen to Falaise. They won a two-day battle for Verrires Ridge starting on July 21, after 1,500 casualties. More bloody battles followed, until finally, on August 21, the narrowing gap that had been developing at Falaise closed when American and Canadian troops shook hands.

The German army in Normandy had been destroyed, with only 18,000 of about 400,000 men escaping. The Allies suffered 206,000 casualties, of which 18,444 were Canadians.

Breakout from Juno is a story of uncommon heroism, endurance, and sacrifice by Canada's World War II volunteer army and pays tribute to Canada's veterans.

Fantastic Book. Narration needs work.

I enjoyed this book very much but found it quite annoying to have Canadian names consistently mispronounced. Overall a great historical work and a must read for Canadian military enthusiasts.

Great book but narrative disappointment

Book is excellent, well researched and would have enjoyed except for narrator. His pronunciation of Canadian Regiments and French villages and towns were so poor that I required hard copy for reference. Even Mc’eans magazine mispronounced! Please redo this book with another speaker. Canadian Veterans deserve better.

The topic and title

Who is reading this? Perhaps this person, before read something regard to Canadian Military the should learn the proper pronunciation of CANADIAN MILITARY RANKS. As a historian and a veteran this is very insulting

Top rate work

Narrator has good pace and tone and poor place name and regiment pronunciation. However the author is a master at this format. Will read anything he does. Loved it.
