Book Description
The allies, faced with a shameful defeat, are trapped between the onslaught of the mighty German army and the tumult of the ocean waves. Those that do not die face capture and surrender to the Nazis. But only nine days later more than a quarter of a million men have been rescued, placed safely on the shores of England, and saved by an amazing assorted flotilla of barges, tugs, rowing boats and dinghy's. This is the incredible story of a mass exodus across the Channel. John Harris tells the miraculous story of Dunkirk.

Jumbled Story of a Rout to the Coast and Miraculous Evacuation
26 Feb 2009
Format:Hardcover
I have to say I enjoyed this one but to start with there are too many characters with too many vignettes. Hard to follow until some of the characters are killed off. If Harris had stuck to just a few men and women from each group (Royal Army, Wehrmacht, RAF, Luftwaffe, captain of small boat attempting rescue, French civilians caught in middle, etc.) it would have flowed more smoothly. Story of the British Expeditionary Force and its retreat to the northern coast of France in 1940, hoping to be evacuated across the Channel to England to fight another day. Many adventures are had by all the characters in the collection of vignettes. Reminds me somewhat of an Arthur Hailey novel with parallel plots colliding at the end.
