Sinclair McKay on Dunkirk

Sinclair McKay is the author of The Secret Life of Bletchley Park. In his new book he draws on interviews with Dunkirk veterans, illuminating letters and a host of fascinating archival material to explore the evacuation from the beaches of Dunkirk. It was one of those extraordinary historical moments that went far beyond consideration of military tactics. He will tell a powerful story of a mass mood, of the countless different shades of human nature, and of how such a thing as 'the Dunkirk spirit' - was spontaneously brought into being.
