Description
Dunkirk Little Ships by Nigel Sharp tells the story of one of the most remarkable maritime rescues in history. In May 1940, as German troops advanced across Europe, thousands of British and French soldiers were forced to retreat to Dunkirk, where they faced an impossible task: escaping from a damaged harbour with limited resources. The Admiralty's desperate appeal for help was answered by over 700 small craft, which, along with 200 military vessels, rescued an astonishing 338,226 troops over nine days. This remarkable story is now being shared with the public, shedding light on the bravery and ingenuity of those who played a crucial role in saving countless lives. Today, many of these little ships still sail, and their legacy continues to inspire new generations. This book brings together the stories of those who took part in this incredible event, offering a unique insight into one of the most pivotal moments of World War II.
