Reviews
A fast-paced and convincing book ... that clears up decades of misinformation about the ignoble raid, Magnificent and engrossing, this is a deep dive into one of the most fascinating and clandestine mysteries, which O'Keefe has cracked open. With extensive research, he produces a captivating and revealing narrative full of intricate detail and written in an accessible and flowing manner. Much of the information is new and I can safely say this will appeal to those interested in history, in particular, that of WWII, and those who find strange and enduring mysteries compelling. A compulsive, informative and eminently readable book, One Day in August is a multilayered and deeply thrilling expose.

Synopsis
A new history of the hitherto inexplicable Dieppe raid of 1942 and its true purpose. 'A lively and readable account' - Spectator 'A fine book ... well-written and well-researched' - Washington Times In less than six hours in August 1942, nearly 1,000 British, Canadian andAmerican commandos died in the French port of Dieppe in an operation thatfor decades seemed to have no real purpose. Was it a dry-run for D-Day, orperhaps a gesture by the Allies to placate Stalin's impatience for a secondfront in the west? Historian David O'Keefe uses hitherto classified intelligence archives to prove that thiscatastrophic and apparently futile raid was in fact a mission, set up by Ian Fleming ofBritish Naval Intelligence as part of a 'pinch' policy designed to capture material relatingto the four-rotor Enigma Machine that would permit codebreakers like Alan Turing atBletchley Park to turn the tide of the Second World War.

    Book exactly as specified, rapid international delivery (USA to UK), and a reasonable price for an out-of-print book. I was also very pleased and reassured by the quality of packaging for the book. It arrived in a cardboard box, and inside, it had brown paper to pad out the box, plus brown paper around the book to further protect it. This meant the book survived international shipping in great condition. On that basis, I highly recommend this seller.

    The book arrived right on time. The packaging was excellent. The package contained two books and both were perfectly wrapped to keep them both clean and flat. The book was as described. Clean and crisp. The Price was perfect as well. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase. I would definitely use this seller again.

    Very happy with my purchase! The book was new as described and was safely shipped in a protective bubble mailer, it arrived pristine condition. It's important to me that any books I order arrive undamaged, so this was such a relief. I will definitely remember this seller if I want any more books in the future.
