About the book DUNKIRK
U svibnju 1940. godine Britanski ekspedicijski korpus poslan je da pomogne Belgijancima i Francuzima kako bi se spriječilo munjevito napredovanje njemačkih snaga. Usprkos iskazanoj hrabrosti u izravnim sukobima, slabo opremljene, nedovoljno obučene i loše vođene, savezničke trupe nisu imale puno uspjeha protiv nadmoćnih njemačkih oklopnih jedinica. Uskoro su bili opkoljeni i prisiljeni povući se do same obale mora oko francuske luke Dunkirk. Winston Churchill, tadašnji britanski premijer, izrazio je bojazan da bi stotine tisuća britanskih i savezničkih vojnika moglo biti ubijeno ili zarobljeno, pa je donesena odluka o spašavanju potisnutih jedinica.
Operacija kodnog imena "Dinamo" trajala je devet paklenih dana i uz velike žrtve uspjela zahvaljujući ne samo britanskoj ratnoj mornarici već i spontanom okupljanju stotina malih trgovačkih i ribarskih brodica. U bitci koja se vodila na kopnu, moru i zraku spašeno je gotovo tristo četrdeset tisuća britanskih i francuskih vojnika i tako je ovaj poraz pretvoren u prvu veliku savezničku pobjedu.
