A gripping account of one of the most famous episodes of the Second World War\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn May 1940 British and Allied troops on mainland Europe were in a perilous situation: cut off and surrounded, at the conclusion of the bloody Battle of France they faced complete annihilation. It would be a devastating blow, handing Europe to the Nazis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut over a few frantic days, the greatest evacuation in history managed to salvage hope, saving the total destruction of the army and hundreds of thousands of soldiers lives. It was a pivotal and defining moment in the war, one Churchill described as a ‘miracle’ in his ‘we shall fight them on the beaches’ speech.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBestselling author John Harris describes in vivid detail how the evacuation developed on a day-by-day basis, and destroys more than one myth associated with Dunkirk. Packed with authentic atmosphere and first-hand recollections, the retreat and the desperate lifting of the weary British expeditionary force is seen in its tragic but spirited entirety, an epic of courage and confusion without parallel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePerfect for readers of James Holland and Guy Walters.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 210g\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 127 x 197 x 31 (mm)\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781800325616\n                            \n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Harris","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44095117459706,"sku":"9781800325616","price":9.27,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/b4bd0d7ab3f0b599d55bf9ed01fdc4fe.jpg?v=1638334228","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/dunkirk-the-epic-story-of-historys-most-extraordinary-evacuation","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
