Alone : Britain, Churchill, and Dunkirk : defeat into victory
Korda, Michael, 1933-2017
Books
In an absorbing work peopled with world leaders, generals, and ordinary citizens who fought on both sides of World War II, 'Alone' brings to resounding life perhaps the most critical year of twentieth-century history. For, indeed, May 1940 was a month like no other, as the German war machine blazed into France while the supposedly impregnable Maginot Line crumbled, and Winston Churchill replaced Neville Chamberlain as prime minister in an astonishing political drama as Britain, isolated and alone, faced a triumphant Nazi Germany.
