In an absorbing work peopled with world leaders, generals and
ordinary citizens who fought on both sides of the Second World War,
Alone brings to resounding life perhaps the most critical year of
twentieth-century history. May 1940 was a month like no other, as
the German war machine blazed into France while the supposedly
impregnable Maginot Line crumbled, and Winston Churchill replaced
Neville Chamberlain as prime minister in an astonishing political
drama as Britain, isolated and alone, faced a triumphant Nazi
Germany. Against this vast historical canvas, Michael Korda relates
what happened and why, and also tells his own story, that of a
six-year-old boy in a glamorous family who would himself be
evacuated. Alone is a work that seamlessly weaves a family memoir
into an unforgettable account of a political and military disaster
redeemed by the evacuation of more than 300,000 men in four
days-surely one of the most heroic episodes of the war.
