I haven't yet read any books by Zuehlke but I'm seriously thinking of reading one of the component books of the trilogy, Juno Beach: Canada's D-Day Victory - June 6, 1944. I should probably have picked up the trilogy as it costs just a little more than the individual book, $13.99 vs. $9.99 in the US, $15.24 vs. $9.99 in Canada.

There are some anti-Ambrose reviews on Amazon, alleging that his books have a bias that portrays the non-American Allied forces as incompetent. Do any of you notice such a bias? I've never read any of Ambrose's WWII books.

Incidentally I've been to both Juno and Sword Beaches years ago (not as a combatant), and talk of the anniversary does bring back memories.
