THE EPIC OF DUNKIRK.
E. KEBLE CHATTERTON.
The world needs little reminding that, in the amazing withdrawal from Dunkirk of the British Expeditionary Force, one of the greatest maritime feats throughout all naval history was performed. The incredible occurred, a miracle happened. Here is the full account of how that achievement was brought about, despite the enemy's myriads on land and his superiority in the sky, a narrative that will live through the ages as one tremendous act of bravery extending over ten terrible days. Mr. Keble Chatterton, who received official assistance in the preparation of this volume, and obtained first-hand information from participants themselves as well as a unique set of illustrations, has never had a more enthralling subject for historical writing. "The Epic of Dunkirk" is not merely a thrilling human story but a book of permanent and outstanding interest.
