Based on the personal diary of a World War Two British engineer, this novel takes readers inside the uncertainty, courage and sacrifice behind the Dunkirk evacuation.

“I am ordered to commandeer this vessel, immediately, for use by the navy and to take command of it!”

The words were spoken by a naval sub-lieutenant to Ben Bainbridge, captain of the motor vessel Bee. The crew of the small ship were unloading a consignment of steel plates on to the quay in Portsmouth dockyard. They were looking forward to sailing back to their home harbour, Newport, Isle of Wight, in time for supper. But that was not to be. Instead, they all made the decision to answer the call to help to save an army, in their unarmed civilian vessel, and to face the wrath of the mighty German forces.

Within thirty-six hours, the Bee was in a sea littered with wreckage, oil spills and floating corpses, dodging lethal bullets and bombs as wave after wave of German aircraft flew overhead.

“May 1940: Destination Dunkirk - The Mission of a ‘Little Ship’ may be brief enough to be consumed in a single sitting, yet its emotional resonance and profound impact will linger with readers long after they have turned the last page."
