Book Description

Secondhand. Fine condition.

A gripping chronicle, Dunkirk recounts the brave stand of the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) against the German army and the dramatic rescue of 338,000 British troops from the beaches of Dunkirk at the outset of World War II.

General Julian Thompson draws from previously unpublished and rare materials to re-create the action on the beaches of the small town--from the misunderstandings between the British and French generals to the experiences of the ordinary soldier trying to fend for his life and return to his homeland. Unlike other books on the subject, Thompson's account gives full weight to the fighting inland as the BEF found itself in mortal danger due to the Belgian army's collapse on one flank and the French troops' failure on the other flank. Thompson aims to correct popular myths about the evacuation and set the historical record straight about the events that unfolded in May 1940. (publisher blurb)
