BOOKS ON DIEPPE RAID (Operation Jubilee)

I am interested in the valid opinions and recommendations of this learned group relating to books published, old or new, pertaining to the Battle of Dieppe or Operation Jubilee in August 1942. Several titles have passed and I want to delve into the interesting history of this ill-fated venture. The following is a list I have compiled but I would be delighted to hear your recommendation(s) and/or addition(s) to the list. Thank you!

1. THE SHAME AND GLORY Terrence Robertson
2. THE DIEPPE RAID: The story of the Disasterous Robin Neillands
3. UNAUTHORIZED ACTION: Lord Mountbatten Brian Villa
4. COMBINED OPERATIONS: The Official Story Henry Saunders
5. DIEPPE, TRIUMPH and TRAGEDY Denis & Shelagh Whitaker
6. DIEPPE: August 19 Eric McGuire
7. TICKET TO HELL VIA DIEPPE Robt.Prousse

Any shred on information will be most appreciated.

 

We've had a small thread on this subject before which may be of some help ; -

...but it's a way back now ; maybe there have been some other works which people can comment on ?

 

Thank you for the information. I just checked it out and Robertson's book was confirmed along with some others. Perhaps I will hear from others as well.

Have a good day.

 

Personally, the books by the Whitakers and Terry Copp are good.

Anyone that has a story to tell such as your can't make a bad recommendation. Your father's saga was reveting and facinating, though horrrifying, and it was an honor to have read it. Thank you for sharing it and I will folow up on your recommendations. Thanks for taking the time.

 

Mr. Waddy was a member of the same artillery regiment as my father. Fortunately, my Dad did not undergo the same things.

My Dad would have been with them at Dieppe, if he'd not been finishing recovery from several months of reconstructive surgery on his face and legs following an encounter with a parachute bomb while on a motorcycle while on dispatch duty in southern England in the spring of 1942. He always had survivors guilt about Dieppe that affected him his entire life.
