Five Days From Defeat: Uncovering the Untold Story of Dunkirk

In the spring of 1940, the British Army was facing annihilation. The German army had swept through France, and the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) was trapped on the beaches of Dunkirk. With their backs to the sea, the BEF seemed doomed to defeat.

But then, in a remarkable turn of events, the British Navy launched a daring evacuation operation that saved over 330,000 British and Allied troops. The operation was a logistical marvel, and it played a major role in the Allied victory in World War II.
