Retreat and Rearguard - Dunkirk 1940

"Murland, a writer and battlefield guide who served with the Parachute Regiment of the British Army, relates the story of the retreat of the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) from the River Dyle to the channel coast of France from where Operation Dynamo began during the France and Flanders Campaign in May 1940 during World War II. A quarter of a million men of the BEF were evacuated from the coast of France over nine days. The author concentrates on the tactical aspects of British rearguard units during their withdrawal to Dunkirk, as well as what led up to it" ~ProtoView

There is a place for detailed narratives such as this that do not feel the need to steer the reader too much. An essential purchase. ~Society of Friends of the National Army Museum
