The German part in the 19 August 1942 Dieppe raid has largely been
ignored. Launched by Winston Churchill to appease his Soviet
counterparts, Operation JUBILEE was one of the Allies' greatest
debacles of the war. The majority of the 6,100 soldiers and marines
dispatched by Lord Louis Mountbatten were captured or killed. Just
2,211 of the 4,963 Canadians involved returned to England. Two
years later the Canadian Army fought from Normandy into Germany
with fewer men captured than at Dieppe. By exploring the German
experience, this superbly researched book provides answers to
previously unasked operational questions. How well were the Nazi
occupiers prepared for an attack on Dieppe? What threat did the
raid pose to the Germans' defence of mainland Europe? What lessons
did the Wehrmacht learn, and did their High Command use the Dieppe
experience when preparing for the inevitable Allied invasion of
Fortress Europe'? How did Hitler and his henchmen respond to the
Western Allies' failure to break down their defences in occupied
western Europe? The book also addresses how Goebbels' propaganda
machine exploited the victory, and the reaction of the German
people. Drawing on extensive German source materials, the
Wehrmacht's role in defeating Operation JUBILEE is comprehensively
examined in fascinating detail, adding a new dimension to the
history of this poorly-planned and under-resourced adventure.
Responding to growing interest in DBT-informed art therapy, this
edited guide focuses specifically on how these interventions can
treat a variety of client groups. Combining the structure and skill
development of DBT with the creativity and non-verbal communication
of art therapy can be a significant advantage in treating patients
who are resistant to talking therapy. This book includes
international contributors who cover work with a wide variety of
populations, such as those with suicidal behaviours, eating
disorders, and personality disorders. Divided in two parts, Part I
focuses purely on DBT-informed art therapy, whilst Part II brings
in multi-modal DBT-informed approaches, such as poetry and
movement, but all with visual art as a component.
He's Fighting Terrorism on Both Sides In America's war against
terrorism, someone in U.S. intelligence decides that to keep
department funding up, an upcoming attack on America must be
allowed to take place. Who could possibly fight against such a
diabolical plot? The thrilling new novel Fateful Ops takes this
situation and runs with it until the spellbinding conclusion. Jes

help keep U.S. troops safe. When Spenser discovers that an attack
on U.S. soil is imminent, he informs the powers that be, but is
told that the attack will be allowed to take place, so everyone can
be reminded of the threat and the funding can continue. When

elimination. As he and a small team of renegade operatives decide
to neutralize the terrorist, the danger comes from both sides. This
amazing story of our times is indeed Fateful.
