{"product_id":"unauthorized-action-mountbatten-and-the-dieppe-raid","title":"Unauthorized Action: Mountbatten and the Dieppe Raid","description":"\u003cp\u003eOn 19 August 1942 a predominantly Canadian force sailed from England in an attempt to seize the German-occupied port of Dieppe—a raid that ended in catastrophic loss. Brian Loring Villa here provides the first thorough examination of the disaster, unraveling the tangled mix of political pressures in Britain and Canada, the strains placed on Churchill and the British Chiefs of Staff, the intelligence and operational risks, and the pivotal role and decisions of Lord Louis Mountbatten as Chief of Combined Operations to explain how planning, command and circumstance produced the failed Operation Jubilee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePresented as an operational-history, archival-research study, the book is published by Oxford University Press (ISBN 9780195406795 \/ 0-19-540679-6) and features maps of the Dieppe operation along with operational diagrams and tables that clarify troop movements, support elements and timing. Its focus on Combined Operations headquarters, Anglo‑Canadian relations, high‑level command and control, and detailed documentary evidence makes it an essential contribution for readers interested in amphibious warfare, Canadian military history and the decision-making that shaped Second World War strategy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WW2 Bunker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44298904010854,"sku":"9780195406795","price":39.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/4926\/4998\/files\/9HzSziGDvWG3XoDO8JiX9VJSOG6lOy912vmDAdbViXo.jpg?v=1767232232","url":"https:\/\/ww2bunker.com\/products\/unauthorized-action-mountbatten-and-the-dieppe-raid","provider":"WW2 Bunker","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
