Seven days in hell : Canada's battle for Normandy and the rise of the Black Watch snipers / David O'Keefe.
Centred around one of Canada's most storied regiments, this book tells the epic story of the men from the Black Watch during the bloody battle for Verrières Ridge, a dramatic saga that unfolded just weeks after one of Canada's greatest military triumphs of the Second World War. Drawing on formerly classified documents and rare first-person testimony of the men who fought on the front lines, O'Keefe follows the footsteps of the ghosts of Normandy, giving a voice yet again to the men who sacrificed everything in the summer of 1944.
