This account covers not only the Dunkirk evacuation but also the Phoney War period of 1939-1940 in northern France; British army units serving in the Maginot Line and Gort Line; British soldiers' relations with the French civilians, including love affairs and brothel experiences; the advance into Belgium after May 10th 1940; fighting with the Germans on the River Dyle; German air attacks on refugees on the roads, May 1940; the failed Arras counter-stroke against German armour by British tanks and infantry; Churchill's futile gesture at sending army units to defend Calais and its awful outcome; the defence of the Dunkirk perimeter, etc.
It is absolutely gripping. One can hardly put the book down.

I really enjoyed this book, being interested in world war two and having a relative who was evacuated from the beaches,and a friend who was captured and became a pow, the book deals with veterans recollections,both Army,Airforce,and Navy,and also civillians who manned the little boats evacuating troops from the beaches,the book is a tribute to the men who fought and died in france.there is tragedy,sadness ,andhumour in the book.i highly recommend it
