Synopsis
In 1940 at the French port of Dunkirk, an Allied army of more than 300,000 troops was on the verge of being wiped out by the Germans when they were rescued by an extraordinary seaborne evacuation. Filmmaker Christopher Nolan fulfilled a longstanding dream of depicting their miraculous triumph-in-defeat with the release of his Oscar-winning 2017 epic , for which he and historical consultant Joshua Levine extensively interviewed survivors and pored over period documents. This companion to the film is Levine's sweeping historical narrative, told in the words of the soldiers, sailors, airmen, and civilians involved in the nine-day gauntlet.

About the Author
Joshua Levine has written six bestselling histories including titles in the hugely popular 'Forgotten Voices' series. ‘Beauty and Atrocity’, his account of the Irish Troubles, was nominated for the Writers' Guild Book of the Year award. ‘On a Wing and a Prayer’, his history of the pilots of the First World War, has been turned into a major British television documentary. He has written and presented a number of programmes for BBC Radio 4. In a previous life, he was a criminal barrister. He lives in London.
Review
“Will suit anyone interested in military history from the soldier’s point of view. ... The real stories of the men who were there bring the history to life on the page.” (The Federalist)
“Fascinating. ... Fills in a lot of the historical context that Nolan so purposefully avoids in his film.” (Under the Radar)
“A story of survival. ... Deserves favorable mention due to its detail, flowing narrative and ground-level storytelling.” (Warfare History Network)
