We Landed At Dawn: The Story Of The Dieppe Raid by A.B. Austin is a historical account of the Allied military operation known as the Dieppe Raid, which took place on August 19, 1942 during World War II. The book provides a detailed description of the planning and execution of the mission, as well as the events that led up to it.The Dieppe Raid was a joint British-Canadian operation that aimed to capture and hold the French port town of Dieppe, which was under German control at the time. The operation was intended to test the feasibility of a large-scale amphibious assault on the European mainland and to gather intelligence on German defenses.The book describes the preparations for the raid, including the training of the troops and the selection of the landing sites. It also provides a vivid account of the actual assault, which was met with heavy resistance from the German forces. The raid ultimately failed, with heavy casualties on the Allied side, but it provided valuable lessons for future operations.We Landed At Dawn is a well-researched and detailed account of the Dieppe Raid, drawing on official records, personal accounts, and other sources. It provides a valuable insight into a key moment in the history of World War II and the development of Allied military strategy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
