A gripping account of one of the most famous episodes of the Second World War In May 1940 British and Allied troops on mainland Europe were in a perilous situation: cut off and surrounded at the conclusion of the bloody Battle of France they faced complete annihilation.

It was a pivotal and defining moment in the war one Churchill described as a miracle in his we shall fight them on the beaches speech. Bestselling author John Harris describes in vivid detail how the evacuation developed on a day - by - day basis and destroys more than one myth associated with Dunkirk. Packed with authentic atmosphere and first - hand recollections the retreat and the desperate lifting of the weary British expeditionary force is seen in its tragic but spirited entirety an epic of courage and confusion without parallel. Perfect for readers of James Holland and Guy Walters.
