<DIV><DIV>Following his national best-seller, <I>Juno Beach</I>, and with his usual verve and narrative skill, historian Mark Zuehlke chronicles the crucial six days when Canadians saved the vulnerable beachheads they had won during the D-Day landings. D-Day ended with the Canadians six miles inland ? the deepest penetration achieved by Allied forces during this longest day in history. But for all the horror endured on June 6 every soldier knew the worst was yet to come. The Germans began probing the Canadian lines early in the morning of June 7 and shortly after dawn counter attacked in force. The ensuing six days of battle was to prove bloodier than D-Day itself. Although battered and bloody, the Canadians had held their ground and made it possible for the slow advance toward Germany and eventual Allied victory to begin.<BR><BR><I>Holding Juno</I> recreates this pivotal battle through the eyes of the soldiers who fought it, with the same dramatic intensity and factual detail that made <I>Juno Beach</I>, in the words of <I>Quill & Quire</I> reviewer Michael Clark, ?the defining popular history of Canada's D-Day battle.”</DIV></DIV>
