ISBN: 9781443454773.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA riveting tour\nde force by Canada’s leading military historian about the heroic Black Watch’s\nfight for survival at Verrières Ridge\n\nCentred around\none of Canada’s most storied regiments, Seven Days in Hell tells\nthe epic tale of the bloody battle for Verrières Ridge, a dramatic saga that\nunfolded just weeks after one of Canada’s greatest military triumphs of the\nSecond World War. O’Keefe takes us on a heart-pounding journey at the sharp end\nof combat during the infamous Normandy campaign, when more than 300 Black Watch\nHighlanders from across Canada, the United States, Great Britain and the Allied\nworld found themselves embroiled in mortal combat against elite Waffen-SS units\nand grizzled Eastern Front veterans. Only a handful walked away. Pinned down as\nthe result of strategic blunders and the fog of war, the men were thrust into a\nnightmare where station, rank, race and religion mattered little and only\ncharacter won the day. Drawing on formerly classified documents and rare first-person\ntestimony from the men who fought on the front lines, O’Keefe follows the\nfootsteps of the ghosts of Normandy, giving a voice yet again to the men who\nsacrificed everything in the summer of 1944.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins Children's Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45253707202613,"sku":"ByrdShop_144345477X","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781443454773_68dd851a-9d27-4c92-b3d1-c88dec29eccc.jpg?v=1779946304","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/seven-days-in-hell-canadas-battle-for-normandy-and-the-rise-of-the-black-watch-snipers-9781443454773","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
