  This is the story of the journey of the British Expeditionary Force from hope to despair, to triumph in the midst of defeat. Over 300,000 men were taken off the beaches of Dunkirk, and it was they who became the nucleus of the armies which swept Nazism from Europe.

  In the space of three and a half weeks during May and early June 1940, the armed forces of Nazi Germany came close to winning. The British Expeditionary Force were isolated, driven back to the sands of the Channel and the lone port of Dunkirk and Britain faced catastrophe. How that catastrophe was averted through a combination of enemy blunders and British resourcefulness is told here by Ronald Atkin.
