Part of the SECOND WORLD WAR VOICES series, with a new introduction
by bestselling historian James Holland, and in partnership with the
podcast We Have Ways of Making You Talk, presented by comedian Al
Murray and James Holland May 1940: In the face of a lightning
German advance, the British Army found themselves, stunned, broken,
beaten, their backs truly against the wall on the sands of the
north French coast. And yet it was on the beaches of Dunkirk that
the seeds of a remarkable victory were sown. The evacuation of over
three hundred thousand men in ships of all sizes was a logistical
feat which has never been seen, before or since. This vivid,
visceral story takes you inside the making of a miracle: the story
of eight frantic days, as the net tightened around the beleaguered
troops, told from all sides, as the enemy draws closer and the
bombardment intensifies, in the words of those who were there. It
is impossible to get closer to experiencing this legendary action.
