About This Item

Toronto: Dundurn, 2010. 116 pp, square 8vo (8" x 8"). B&w photographs, drawings, map. "Take a trip back in time to the chaos and destruction of the greatest invasion in military history, viewed through the lens of Canadian paratroopers. (This) is the exciting story of some of Canada's toughest and most daring soldiers in the Second World War. In the dead of night, on 5/6 June 1944, hundreds of elite Canadian paratroopers hurled themselves from aircraft behind enemy lines. That daring act set the stage for the eventual success of the Allied invasion fleet. From aircraft formations striking out from England on a turbulent flight across the English Channel to the tumultuous drop over Occupied Europe and deadly close combat in the Normandy countryside, 'Men of Steel' is a detailed account of Canadian paratroopers and their instrumental role in D-Day." Catalogued as 'Juvenile Literature', this book provides a good introduction to Canada's involvement in D-Day operations for teenage to adult readers. Interior - clean and tight with no previous ownership marks. Exterior - clean and bright.. First Edition. Soft Cover. Near Fine.
