The epic true story of Dunkirk—now a major motion picture, written and directed by Christopher Nolan, and starring Kenneth Branagh, Tom Hardy, and Mark Rylance

In 1940, the Allies had been beaten back by the Nazis across France to the northern port of Dunkirk. In the ultimate race against time, more than 300,000 Allied soldiers were daringly evacuated across the Channel. This moment of German aggression was used by Winston Churchill as a call to Franklin Roosevelt to enter the war. Now, Joshua Levine, the film's official historian, explores the real lives of those soldiers, bombed and strafed on the beaches for days on end, without food or ammunition; the civilians whose boats were overloaded; the airmen who risked their lives to buy their companions on the ground precious time; and those who did not escape.

Incredible story of survival. Gained insight to life on the beaches of Dunkirk and how a failed military campaign became a source of inspiration.

Miraculous rescue story

I couldn't wait for this book to come out and now that it is I'm disappointed.
I hope the movie is better so that I can have competition.😕

Too slow, not exciting, good history lesson though.

Save your money unless you want to know about the movie in great detail. I expected to hear about the event and too some extent that's true. However, much of this book is about how the movie was made. I waisted my money. I want a refund!

This is more about the movie than the event

I thought this was going to be about what led up to Dunkirk and a more in-depth history of the contribution. Made by small craft. But instead it seems to be about soldiers getting sex. Really! I didn’t finish it and I don’t recommend this book

Disappointed
