The Nine Days of Dunkirk
Hardcover First Edition 1959

David Divine

Every one knows, or should know, about the fantastic evacuation of the British Army from France in 1940. Defeated, out gunned, out maneuvered and with collapsing allies on each flan, the 10 division force that made up the British Expeditionary Force sent to strengthen France had its back to the water. Author David Divine tells us the startling truth about the historic evacuation, the blunders and the heroism. The story will grip your attention, stimulate your admiration and make you astounded at the commonplace heroism of the mariners who brought 338,000 exhausted soldiers to safety.

Royal Navy office David Divine was there, he brought suffering men to safety and has the award for heroism to show for it. His perspective deserves our close attention.
Things that I didn't know about Dunkirk-Royal Navy destroyers took off a disproportionate number of the defeated soldiers. They also paid the price with many of the tin cans sunk and many destroyer men lost. I didn't know that Belgian fishing boats helped in the evacuation. I didn't know that at the very end some 50,000 French soldiers, men who had fled the front line fighting, emerged from the cellars of Dunkirk where they had hidden in fear for days while other men died to hold the Nazi tide..
