Alone: Britain, Churchill, and Dunkirk: Defeat Into Victory – Michael Korda

Read Time:30 Second

51As5EH+K3L._SX326_BO1 204 203 200_This was an interesting book, to say the least.  Korda tells the story of, essentially, Dunkirk, but includes his perspective as a ten year boy, son of a movie industry family, which provides a fascinating perspective on what happened.  He remember's Chamberlain's speeches on the radio, of praying nightly for the BEF in France, and many other things that he only later learned the significance of.  Probably not the best account out there, but an interesting one, and likely the last we'll see from someone who remembers any part of it firsthand.
