O'Keefe takes us on a heart-pounding journey at the sharp end\u003cbr\u003e of combat during the infamous Normandy campaign, when more than 300 Black Watch\u003cbr\u003e Highlanders from across Canada, the United States, Great Britain and the Allied\u003cbr\u003e world found themselves embroiled in mortal combat against elite Waffen-SS units\u003cbr\u003e and grizzled Eastern Front veterans. Only a handful walked away. Pinned down as\u003cbr\u003e the result of strategic blunders and the fog of war, the men were thrust into a\u003cbr\u003e nightmare where station, rank, race and religion mattered little and only\u003cbr\u003e character won the day. Drawing on formerly classified documents and rare first-person\u003cbr\u003e testimony from the men who fought on the front lines, O'Keefe follows the\u003cbr\u003e footsteps of the ghosts of Normandy, giving a voice yet again to the men who\u003cbr\u003e sacrificed everything in the summer of 1944.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53673220407569,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781443454797.jpg?v=1781524109","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-seven-days-in-hell-by-david-o-keefe","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
