JJ Chalmers follows in the footsteps of the British soldiers retreat to Dunkirk, after the Nazi blitzkrieg of France counting down the days to Churchills order to evacuate.
JJ continues the story of the Royal Norfolk regiment, assigned to protect a 'safe corridor' down which most of the British Army were still flooding towards Dunkirk.
As the evacuation reaches its conclusion, the furious battle between the exhausted Allied Forces and the Germans to keep the Nazis out of Dunkirk reaches its climax.
