Dieppe: Canada’s Darkest Day of World War II

by Hugh Brewster

On the night of August 19, 1942, five thousand Canadians launched an attack on the Nazi-held French port of Dieppe. When the disastrous raid was done, and the Allies were forced to retreat, nearly a thousand Canadian troops lay dead. Almost two thousand were taken prisoner. Some called it “the bloodiest nine hours in Canadian military history.”

Through meticulous research and interviews with veterans both in Canada and Dieppe, this book is a fascinating and haunting historical tour of a battle that took so many lives.
