ONE DAY IN AUGUST: Ian Fleming, Enigma and the Deadly Raid on Dieppe
In less than six hours in August 1942, nearly 1,000 British, Canadian and American commandos died in the French port of Dieppe. This raid was in fact a mission set up by Ian Fleming of British Naval Intelligence to capture material relating to the four-rotor Enigma Machine--priceless intelligence that would permit codebreakers to turn the tide of WWII. 16 pages of photos.
