Dunkirk

The History Behind the Major Motion Picture

Joshua Levine

Dunkirk in June 1940 saw the dramatic rescue of 300,000 Allied troops. Drawing on new interviews with survivors, this volume presents the true history of the soldiers, sailors, airmen and civilians caught up by the German advance into France, and their last-minute evacuation by hundreds of small ships. An interview with Christopher Nolan and concluding notes explore his approach to turning their experiences into an award-winning film.

THE EPIC TRUE STORY OF DUNKIRK - NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE, WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY CHRISTOPHER NOLAN AND STARRING KENNETH BRANAGH, TOM HARDY AND MARK RYLANCE.



In 1940, at the French port of Dunkirk, more than 300,000 trapped Allied troops were dramatically rescued from destruction at the hands of Nazi Germany by an extraordinary seaborne evacuation. The true history of the soldiers, sailors, airmen and civilians involved in the nine-day skirmish has passed into legend. Now, the story Winston Churchill described as a 'miracle' is narrated by bestselling author Joshua Levine in its full, sweeping context, including new interviews with veterans and survivors.


Told from the viewpoints of land, sea and air, Joshua Levine's Dunkirk is a dramatic account of a defeat that paved the way to ultimate victory and preserved liberty for generations to come.
