Description

The incredible story of the May 1940 rescue of British soldiers fleeing capture and defeat by the Nazis at Dunkirk SPECIAL 75TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION reveals for the first time five unabridged personal accounts describing what it was really like in the front line in and around Dunkirk. Rescuing the British Expeditionary Force from Dunkirk was not just about what happened at sea and on the beaches . . . At the end of May 1940, the German panzer divisions, which had bludgeoned their way through France, halted at the canal line south of Dunkirk. Three days later they advanced again intending to encircle and capture half a million soldiers, many of them British. They would have succeeded had it not been for the heroic British soldiers who stood in their path. Their job was to shield the corridor down which the rest of the Army was retreating to Dunkirk; they were not to give way until they had fired their last bullets. They were to fight to the last man.

Author Biography:

Hugh Sebag-Montefiore was a barrister before becoming a journalist and then an author; he wrote the best-selling Enigma: The Battle for the Code. One of his ancestors was evacuated from Dunkirk.
