Dunkirk: from disaster to deliverance

Drawing on fresh new interviews with Dunkirk veterans - soldiers
and sailors - plus unseen private correspondence and diaries,
author Sinclair McKay delves into a pivotal historical moment and
beneath the myth. The story of how a raggle-taggle flotilla of
small boats and paddle steamers set out to rescue the British
army from the most formidable war machine the world had ever seen
is now a national legend. But what really happened during those
nine days and nights in 1940?


Sinclair McKay is the bestselling author of The Secret Life of
Bletchley Park and The Secret Listeners, as well as histories of
Hammer films, the James Bond films, and Rambling.
