Dunkirk

Joshua Levine

Overview

In 1940, the French port of Dunkirk became the site of a dramatic seaborne evacuation, saving over 300,000 Allied troops from Nazi Germany. This nine-day event, described by Winston Churchill as a 'miracle', has since become legendary. Bestselling author Joshua Levine narrates the full context of this pivotal moment, incorporating new interviews with veterans and survivors. The story is told from the perspectives of those on land, at sea, and in the air, presenting a defeat that ultimately paved the way to victory and preserved liberty.
