2013., Adult, Knopf Canada Call No: 940.54 O41o Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "The 'Ultra Secret' story behind one of WW2's most controversial mysteries--and one of Canada<U+2019>s most sorrowful moments. David O<U+2019>Keefe rewrites history, connecting Canada's tragedy at Dieppe with an extraordinary and colourful cast of characters--from the young Commander Ian Fleming, later to become the creator of the James Bond novels, and his team of crack commandos to the code-breaking scientists of Bletchley Park (the closely guarded heart of Britain's wartime Intelligence and code-breaking work) to those responsible for the planning and conduct of the Dieppe Raid--Admiral John Godfrey, Lord Louis Mountbatten, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and others. In less than six hours on August 19, 1942, nearly one thousand Canadians--as well as British and Americans--lay dead or dying on the beaches around the French seaside town, with over two thousand other Canadians wounded or captured. These awful losses have left a legacy of bitterness, recrimination and controversy. In the absence of concrete reasons for the raid, myriad theories ranging from incompetence to conspiracy developed. David O<U+2019>Keefe reveals the prime reason behind the raid: a highly secret mission designed, in one of Britain's darkest times, to redress the balance of the war. One Day in August provides a thrilling, multi-layered story that fundamentally changes our understanding of this most tragic and pivotal chapter in Canada<U+2019>s history"--Provided by publisher.

2019., HarperCollins Publishers Ltd Call No: SC 940.5421 O41s Edition: First edition. Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: Centred around one of Canada's most storied regiments, Seven Days in Hell 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. O'Keefe takes us on a heart-pounding journey at the sharp end of combat during the infamous Normandy campaign. More than 300 soldiers from the Black Watch found themselves pinned down, as the result of strategic blunders and the fog of war, and only a handful walked away. Thrust into a nightmare, Black Watch Highlanders who hailed from across Canada, the United States, Great Britain and the Allied world found themselves embroiled in a mortal contest against elite Waffen-SS units and grizzled Eastern Front veterans, where station, rank, race and religion mattered little, and only character won the day. 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.
