Description: "This book is the story of the (mostly) Canadian raid on Dieppe and adjacent beaches on August 19, 1942--considered the greatest disaster in Canadian military history. John Mellor was there as a commando. He interviewed over 200 people and produced this story of the planing and preparations for the raid, a detailed and personal telling of the men in battle, scene by scene and often shot by shot, and the years of suffering and resistance as survivors in prisoner-of-war camps."--
