Description
A comprehensive and thoughtful assessment of the operational events leading up to and during Operation Dynamo.
The evacuation of the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) from Dunkirk is one of the most dramatic and famous episodes of the Second World War. Dunkirk 1940 assesses Operation Dynamo from start to finish, with reference to the plans, forces and operations involved. It is a unique and comprehensive compilation of all the facts with excellent illustrations, photographs and maps detailing every significant event in the Operation.
For the first time in military literature, this title discusses the theory that the results of Dynamo largely depended on the results of an 'asymmetric' battle.
