Canada's Battle for Normandy and the Rise of the Black Watch Snipers

About this book

A riveting tour
de force by Canada’s leading military historian about the heroic Black Watch’s
fight for survival at Verrières Ridge

Centred around
one of Canada’s most storied regiments, Seven Days in Hell tells
the epic tale of 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. O’Keefe takes us on a heart-pounding journey at the sharp end
of combat during the infamous Normandy campaign, when more than 300 Black Watch
Highlanders from across Canada, the United States, Great Britain and the Allied
world found themselves embroiled in mortal combat against elite Waffen-SS units
and grizzled Eastern Front veterans. Only a handful walked away. Pinned down as
the result of strategic blunders and the fog of war, the men were thrust into a
nightmare where station, rank, race and religion mattered little and only
character won the day. Drawing on formerly classified documents and rare first-person
testimony from 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.
