I can’t say there is any one book that stands out above all the others. Some are more focused on the overall higher level planning, some are more about individual soldiers or specific units. There was a really good French only one done by Hemidal that was very heavy on pictures. David Okeef wrote one a few years ago proposing a new theory that the raid was a cover for a british enigma snatch plot. Then there is books about the British commandos part. Mark Zuelkhe wrote Tragedy at Dieppe. I found it gives a pretty good mix of overall strategy and individual soldier view points.

I think it really depends on what type you are looking for
