The nine days wonder (the Operation Dynamo)

Edición de la obra The nine days wonder

"Here is the full blazing picture of the miracle of Dunquerque: British aviators parachuting down over the line of defense; soldiers playing football on the sands while they waited for rescue; dark masses of men stretching the length of the shore and into the water, as seen from approaching ships; fighters of the R.A.F., with incredible daring, attacking forty or fifty Nazi planes from a single small Spitfire; a clergyman holding services on the beach under dive-bomber barrage ... And the rescue of 316,663 lives ... With the vivid clarity of a military record, made still more dramatic by first-hand reports from men who took part in the miraculous feat, Mr. Masefield describes just how the evacuation was accomplished."--Jacket.
