This is the story of the greatest rescue of all time. On May 24, 1940, some 400,000 Allied troops lay pinned against the coast of Flanders near the French port of Dunkirk. Hitler's advancing tanks were only ten miles away. By June 4 more than 338,000 of these men had been evacuated safely to England. It was a crucial turning point in World War II, aptly called by Winston Churchill "a miracle of deliverance." - Jacket flap.
