Operation 'Jubilee' was a frontal assault on a fortified port landing the latest equipment and armour directly on to the beach. The main force would destroy the port facilities while other smaller landings dealt with anti-aircraft and coastal batteries. The raid itself turned into a fiasco. The assault force was pinned down on the beach and three quarters of the 5,000 troops landed were lost. This book analyses the disastrous raid and examines contrasting conclusions drawn by the Allies and the Germans.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ken Ford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1841766240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781841766249\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Osprey Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/20\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.02h x 7.18w x 0.32d","brand":"Ken Ford","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46136289362175,"sku":"9781841766249","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b349e6d5-e9fd-44a2-8c04-b4af67d9fb01.jpg?v=1726416238","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dieppe-1942-ken-ford-9781841766249","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
