Description: About this productProduct InformationNew York Times Bestseller 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, the Allies had been beaten back by the Nazis across France to the northern port of Dunkirk. In the ultimate race against time, more than 300,000 Allied soldiers were daringly evacuated across the Channel. This moment of German aggression was used by Winston Churchill as a call to Franklin Roosevelt to enter the war. Now, Joshua Levine, the film's official historian, explores the real lives of those soldiers, bombed and strafed on the beaches for days on end, without food or ammunition; the civilians whose boats were overloaded; the airmen who risked their lives to buy their companions on the ground precious time; and those who did not escape.Product IdentifiersPublisherHarperCollinsISBN-100062792148ISBN-139780062792143eBay Product ID (ePID)237793719Product Key FeaturesPublication Year2017LanguageEnglishDimensionsWeight7.3 OzWidth4.2in.Height0.8in.Length7.5in.Additional Product FeaturesFormatMass MarketDewey Edition23IllustratedYesDewey Decimal940.54/21428Age LevelTradeCopyright Date2017AuthorJoshua LevineNumber of Pages368 PagesLc Classification NumberD756.5.D8l48 2017ReviewsWill suit anyone interested in military history from the soldier's point of view. ...
