Dieppe Canada: Forgotten Heroes by Wade Davies

In the annals of military history, the Dieppe Raid of 1942 stands as one of the most disastrous Allied operations of World War II. On August 19, 1942, a force of over 6,000 Canadian soldiers, along with 1,000 British commandos and 50 American rangers, launched an amphibious assault on the heavily fortified German-occupied port of Dieppe, France. The raid was a complete failure, with over 3,300 Canadians killed, wounded, or captured. The Dieppe Raid has often been overshadowed by the larger and more successful Allied landings at Normandy in 1944, but the story of the Canadian soldiers who fought and died at Dieppe is one that deserves to be remembered.

In his book Dieppe Canada: Forgotten Heroes, Wade Davies tells the story of the Canadian soldiers who fought in the Dieppe Raid. Davies draws on extensive research, including interviews with veterans of the raid, to provide a detailed and moving account of the events of that fateful day. Davies' book is not only a valuable contribution to the historical record, but it is also a powerful tribute to the bravery and sacrifice of the Canadian soldiers who fought at Dieppe.
