THE TRUE STORY OF THE 41000 BRITISH SOLDIERS WHO WERE LEFT BEHIND AFTER THE EVACUATION OF DUNKIRK MAY 1940' Meticulously researched very well written & deeply moving' Andrew Roberts' Few readers will be unmoved by Sean Longden's account' Dominic Sandbrook At 2am on the morning of the 3rd of June 1940 General Harold Alexander searched along the quayside holding onto his megaphone & called " Is anyone there?
