About this deal

This book focuses on the experiences of the soldiers who were unable to be evacuated from Dunkirk and were left behind in enemy territory.

Ill-equipped and under-trained, they nevertheless fought hard for three weeks, conducting a successful fighting withdrawal in the face of a formidable foe. As German forces rapidly advanced through France, the BEF, along with French and Belgian troops, found themselves cut off and pushed back towards the English Channel.Der Fuehrer" did not want to lose a chance to capture Paris and so did not want to waste any panzers trying to destroy an already defeated enemy. This amount includes seller specified domestic postage charges as well as applicable international postage, dispatch, and other fees.

Walter Lord lets the reader experience what is happening as if we were reading the conflict and episodes from the daily paper or in letters home. What the historian, Walter Lord refers to in his classic study, THE MIRACLE OF DUNKIRK is a series of crises that allowed many components of British society to take part in the rescue of these men. The books mentioned in this article will hopefully give you a range of perspectives, from comprehensive historical accounts to personal memoirs and unique viewpoints. Longden’s book sheds light on their harrowing experiences, their capture, and their subsequent struggles as prisoners of war. Please note this is different to a voucher code or discount code as they are to be used when checking out.When reading Lord’s work today it still reflects a historian who had mastered the craft of narrative history and allowed the reader to take part in the action being described. This book by Walter Lord does give an overview of what happened and at the same time draws on interviews with hundreds of participants (listed in the back). Amidst the stories of bravery and selflessness, there is nothing more humbling than to read of the Regiment’s family spirit.
