Dunkirk and the Fall of France

Campaign Chronicles

by Geoffrey Stewart

For sixty years the dramatic story of the Dunkirk evacuation and the defeat of France - the story of the German conquest of northwest Europe - has been the focus of historical study and dispute, yet myths and misconceptions about this extraordinary event persist. The ruthless efficiency of the German assault, the 'miracle' of Dunkirk, the feeble French defense - these still common assumptions are questioned in Geoffrey Stewart's highly readable and concise account of the campaign. The German victory was not inevitable.

Great book!

From start to finish, very informative and well
put together. Revealed a lot of details about the campaign that I was unaware of. Highly recommended reading.
