There are a bunch of great books out there on CDN Mill hist (it's my minor so hang on)...including:

JUNO BEACH (Mark Zuehlke) is a great look at D-day on the CDN beach and the lead up to it...a good read that is very entertaning

VIMY and MARCHING AS TO WAR (both Pierre Berton) are very good, easy hist books to read. The former looks as the WWI battle of the same name that some trace as the start of Canada as its own nation. The latter looks at 4 wars and how Canada did through them.

I need to go but i'll add some other books...who says CDN hist is boring?
