GJSHS book reviews

June 6, 1944 the allies storm onto Normandy beach hoping to invade Europe. Canadians and British as well as the Americans try to take the beach of Normandy from the Germans. The beach is broken up into 5 sections: Utah and Omaha for the Americans, Gold and Sword for the British, and Juno for the Canadians. This epic battle was one of the most astonishing and fatal battles of World War Two and in U.S. history. It talks about the beach landings and of the paratroopers behind the front lines, as well as rangers that had been sent over night to creep over the cliffs and take out the enemy gunner emplacements. They faced machine gun fire, mortar fire, snipers, artillery and much, much more, as well as bad weather. This is a book of unforgettable journeys of brave young men. I rate this book a five out of five stars because of its epic journeys and brave men that astonished the world.
