Description

User’s Reviews

Review “Will suit anyone interested in military history from the soldier’s point of view. … The real stories of the men who were there bring the history to life on the page.” — The Federalist“Fascinating. … Fills in a lot of the historical context that Nolan so purposefully avoids in his film.” — Under the Radar“A story of survival. … Deserves favorable mention due to its detail, flowing narrative and ground-level storytelling.” — Warfare History Network

⭐ Great book. Just a little tedious in parts but overall a very good read. It’s a very good companion to the motion picture. I happen to have read it before seeing the motion picture and it made the experience much better. Although seeing the movie first would not spoil the book. They compliment each other not matter which one was seen or read first.

⭐ Mr. Levine succeeds in both presenting an accurate historical account of the events leading up to, including, and following the evacuation, while giving us a backstage pass into the making of the film. As I write this I am 3 days away from seeing the movie and the book has certainly whetted my appetite.

⭐ When you see a book like this, a mass market paperback with the cover ripped directly from the movie poster, you tend to think that you’re in for an awful adaptation or an annoyingly formatted classic. Dunkirk completely flips the script on this trend and offers unique and interesting takes on the battles leading up to the evacuation at Dunkirk. This is also more of a companion to the movie than a substitute for it, and if anything made me want to watch the film more than the trailers did. Would definitely recommend if you are interested in history, war stories, or just like a good underdog tale.

⭐ This is a decent account of the evacuation of the (mostly) UK army from the continent, marred significantly by extensive references to the eponymous movie. The cover announces that the book is associated with the movie, so this is not deceptive, but, still, I didn’t enjoy the frequent references to the movie and skipped reading those parts. Did you like the movie? I think a different narrative would have told the story better, don’t you?

⭐ Historically, Dunkirk was superb. I appreciated the events (militarily) leading up to the evacuation itself. I am a close combat veteran, so was able to “feel” the actions described by the Brits, Germans and French. Amazing. On the down side, I was unable to keep up with what was happening: I didn’t have a 1:25,000 scale map available and that was necessary. Too many repetitive interviews, and British outfits hard to follow. Finally got to be sorta’ boring.

⭐ This is an interesting book. It was written by the man who researched the story around Dunkirk for the maker of the movie. The history is interesting, as is the story of the making of the movie.

⭐ this thing could survive being thrown from 8 storys and be fine it wrapped in bubble wrap really well and came with instructuions on what to do if my order was incorrect i also really like the book

⭐ Great book. It covers the events of what was happening before the war. Also, it covers the battle of Dunkirk and how they fought off the advance of the Nazis.

⭐ The movie was excellent, I am half-way through the book. I recommend both

⭐ Well done although so heavily dependent on anecdotes that the totality of the military miracle is missed.
