Description
Originally published in 1945: 'A.D. Divine's Dunkirk is the best contemporaneous account, detailing all the big and little ships that rescued the men trapped on the beaches in late May 1940.' This is the story of Dunkirk and of the men who planned it (insofar as it was planned) and of the men who carried it out, and of their ships. Mr Divine, who was himself with the small boats, writes with the authority of direct knowledge. He had the assistance of the men who were intimately concerned with planning and organising the operation. This is the true story of Dunkirk from its almost nebulous beginnings to the astonishing triumph of its end.
