Dunkirk by Hugh Sebag-Montefiore

Dunkirk by Hugh Sebag-Montefiore

The revered account of the rescue of 300,000 British soldiers fleeing the Nazis by the bestselling historian The rescue at Dunkirk was hailed by Winston Churchill as "a miracle" - in eight days, a fleet of more than 800 boats rescued more than 300,000 soldiers. To the last man, the brave battalions who stayed behind bought precious time for the evacuation. Outnumbered and outgunned, they launched heroic attacks, despite ferocious fighting and the knowledge that for many only capture or death would end their struggle. Hugh Sebag-Montefiore's classic account shows what is truly meant by Dunkirk spirit.
