Publisher's Summary

Do you want to learn more about World War II, but don’t have time to read huge, long books? Then let The History Journals take you on an hourly history tour of the different facets of the war. In this edition, discover the true story of the Battle of Dunkirk and the heroic efforts of civilians who helped rescue Allied troops from the Nazis.

Mention the spirit of Dunkirk today and people will associate the phrase with that “never say die” mentality so closely associated with the British as a nation. However, few would be able to tell you more than the fact that Dunkirk had something to do with World War II, and that it’s very probably a place in France. This is of course correct on both counts, although metaphorically speaking, just the tip of the iceberg. The story of Dunkirk and the incredible bravery of servicemen and civilians alike is not only dramatically moving, but also positively inspirational and this journal has been created to take you back to 1940, on a journey of discovery to find true courage in the face of terrible adversity.

The “miracle” of Dunkirk, as Prime Minister Winston Churchill so eloquently described the great escape, happened early in World War II between the end of May and the beginning of June 1940. However before launching into a blow-by-blow account of the story of Dunkirk, the event does need to be set in context, and viewed as the conflict in Europe escalated with Adolf Hitler’s relentless march towards global supremacy.

We create enlightening History Books for people looking to learn about topics in a quick study guide format. Our books won’t take you days to or listen to - but can be enjoyed over a cup of coffee and an hour or so of your time. They are the perfect starter to see if you’d like to delve deeper into any specific subject.
