| Entry Text: | WHITAKER, Denis, & WHITAKER, Shelagh. Dieppe: Tragedy to Triumph. xx, 372p., bibliog., illus., index. London: Cooper, 1992.ISBN: 0075513854.
A mixture of history and reminiscence from Brigadier Whitaker, who landed with the Royal Hamilton Light Infantry. The authors conclude both that Churchill and Alanbrooke pressed ahead with the attack, although fully aware that security was compromised, but that it was a necessary part of a strategy which produced lessons that saved lives at D-Day. |
