More about the book

Focusing on a pivotal moment in World War II, the narrative details the British Expeditionary Force's courageous defense against the German army and the extraordinary evacuation of 338,000 troops from Dunkirk. In May 1940, the ill-prepared BEF fought a strategic retreat while facing overwhelming enemy forces. Winston Churchill's fears of catastrophic losses were alleviated as the operation transformed a potential defeat into a historic victory, highlighting the resilience and determination of the Allied forces during a critical time.
