This week, we're joined by Adam Hart, to discuss his new book about a downed Halifax pilot, who also happens to be his great-grandfather.

Operation Pimento is a riveting story of courage, defiance, and survival. Centered on his great-grandfather, Frank Griffiths, this extraordinary true account shines a light on the men and women of the French Resistance who risked everything to stand against tyranny and to assist Allied airmen to evade capture. From the perilous crossings of the Swiss Alps to the treacherous trails of the Pyrenees and beyond, Hart retraces his ancestor’s footsteps, uncovering the untold stories of bravery and resilience that defined an era. Blending personal discovery with powerful history, Operation Pimento is not only a testament to the indomitable spirit of resistance but also a deeply moving journey across landscapes where freedom was won step by step.
