| Opplysninger | Many books have already been written about the 1940 evacuation of the British Army from Dunkirk. Most of them tell the same story of how the Royal Navy, helped by 500 little ships, rescued British soldiers from Dunkirk’s jetties and beaches. Inspired by his conversations with some of the last survivors of the evacuation, and adopting an unconventional approach that worked successfully in his books about Bletchley Park, Sinclair McKay has approached what he refers to as the Dunkirk “myth” from a new angle. He uses personal accounts and contemporary newspapers to help him profile the state of the British nation and its people during the Dunkirk crisis
