8vo., First Edition, with 41 plates on 16 and 5 maps (several full-page) in the text; cloth, gilt back, a near fine copy in price-clipped dustwrapper.
With two relevant cuttings loosely inserted. The landings at Dieppe (Operation JUBILEE) remain one of the most controversial operations of WWII and a landmark both in Canadian military history and in the development of amphibious warfare. This important modern reassessment incorporates much first-hand material and some recently declassified official records. Whitaker was awarded the DSO as an infantry captain during the action.
