The war in our waters: a revealing account of the deadly World War II battles that sent almost 300 Canadians to watery graves. On May 11, 1942 a German U-boat torpedoed the SS Nicoya, violently ending the peace - which dated back to 1812 - in Canadian waters. By the end of 1944 another 21 merchant ships and 4 Canadian warships would be destroyed. More than 300 men, women and children died by explosion, fire or an icy drowning. A fast-paced narrative studded with first-hand accounts from both Canadians and Germans, the Battle of The St. Lawrence offers a sometimes surprising and always fascinating new perspective on our war history. 281 pp includes four appendices, sources, notes and index.
