The failure of the Second World War raid on Dieppe on Aug. 19, 1942—which saw 3,367 Canadians killed, wounded or captured—has inevitably been viewed through a nationalistic lens in this country. While never taking his eye off the Canadian sacrifice, in Operation Jubilee , British military historian Patrick Bishop provides a wider perspective on an assault predestined for failure, including how and why Canadians came to bear the brunt of it.
The losses at Dieppe were, proportionally, among the worst suffered in a single operation in the Allied war in Western Europe. Of roughly 6,000 ground troops who took part, 3,614 were killed, wounded or captured. The scale of the operation meant it carries an intimacy and imaginability.
Not sure what the content of this book will be like but judging from the cover I’m not holding out much hope. Hint: Those are Americans on the cover NOT Canadians….

Mounties call failure to mention missing B.C. man is wanted in double homicide an 'oversight'Mounties in northern British Columbia are apologizing for what they call an 'oversight' after failing to note that a missing man was also wanted for first-degree murder. Probably because he aint apart of a minority group and reminds them of 'one of the good ole boys from back home'. Mounties are terribly racist. Good to know that if you find him you don't approach him, just call the police. No need to make that clear. They wanted a triple homicide 😒
