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 Spenser is an ex-cop who has chosen to work overseas as a spy to 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 Spenser voices his objections, he makes himself a target for 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.

This simple fact finding mission leads to a possible face-to-face meeting with the F.B.I.'s number one most wanted terrorist. What would any terrorist fighter do? This exciting new novel Fateful Ops - The Pursuit of Terror reunites Spenser's small team of operatives.
