The Miracle of Dunkirk

De: Walter Lord

Narrado por: Jeff Cummings

The full inside story of one of the golden moments of World War II.

On May 24, 1940, Hitler's armies were on the brink of a shattering military victory. Only 10 miles away, 400,000 Allied troops were pinned against the coast of Dunkirk. But just 11 days later, 338,000 men had been successfully evacuated to England. How did it happen? Walter Lord's remarkable account of how "the miracle of Dunkirk" came about is based on hundreds of interviews with survivors of all nations who fought among the sand dunes of northern France.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Walter Lord is a master of historical narration, compelling his reader to feel as if he were present...as a participant in the events described." ( The Wall Street Journal)

What a story !

I wish I would have had a map of France in front of me when I listened to the first couple of chapters. but in spite of that failing, I loved the book !

outstanding!

great story and well read. really offers insight into the people, culture, and decision making of the time.

Relentless, Tense and inspiring.

All the chapters are 'nail biting'ly powerful. The final chapter got me goosebumps.

Of course, I started this only after watching Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk.

World War 2

Fascinating, hope we never have another world War. So many saved but so many lost too.

Fascinating information
