| The German invasion of France and the
Low Countries in the summer of 1940 caught the British
Expeditionary Force by surprise.
Prepared defences were soon over-run as
the Nazi Blitzkrieg raced towards the coast.
With their backs to the sea, 400,000
Allied troops were trapped. Their only escape via the French
port of Dunkirk.
This is the story of the men and women
who rescued an army and turned the tide of World War
Two.
|
| |
The British may define themselves with
the words ‘Dunkirk Spirit’ yet remarkably this is the first
novel ever published telling the full true story of the
evacuation in the early months of the Second World
War.
Drawing on personal
accounts and official histories, journalist Alan Pearce
dispels the common myths and gives a harrowing perspective of
a great defeat and subsequent miracle, seen through the eyes
of ordinary people in extraordinary times.
|
| Alan Pearce paints a remarkable
picture of life in the early days of the war with an island
facing invasion while its army lay trapped on the shores of
France.
Dunkirk Spirit shocks with its stark
depiction of war and yet is rich in humour, tapping deep into
the British character.
Heart warming and compelling, this is a
book that raises the spirits, and begs the question could we
ever do it again?
