Joshua Levine has written seven bestselling history books including several titles in the Forgotten Voices series. Beauty and Atrocity, his account of the Irish Troubles, was nominated for the Writers' Guild Book of the Year Award. On a Wing and a Prayer, his history of the pilots of the First World War, has been turned into a major television documentary. He has written and presented a number of programmes for BBC Radio 4. Most recently he has acted as historical advisor on Christopher Nolan's movie, Dunkirk. Born in the Bahamas, he was a criminal barrister in a previous life. He lives in London.
In 1940, at the French port of Dunkirk, more than 300,000 trapped Allied troops were dramatically rescued from destruction at the hands of Nazi Germany by an extraordinary seaborne evacuation. The true history of the soldiers, sailors, airmen and civilians involved in the nine-day skirmish has passed into legend. Now, the story Winston Churchill described as a 'miracle' is narrated by bestselling author Joshua Levine in its full, sweeping context, including new interviews with veterans and survivors.
Told from the viewpoints of land, sea and air, Joshua Levine’s Dunkirk is a dramatic account of a defeat that paved the way to ultimate victory and preserved liberty for generations to come.

評分This book provides an interview with Nolan and some detailed military and history background information about that particular period of World War Two. “The worst things in the world from your own personal perspective,this faceless enemy which is the nightmare of your imagination,it’s whatever terrifies you.”

評分和譯本一起讀完瞭,籠罩在死亡與絕望氣息下的敦刻爾剋,依然有沙灘上的闆球比賽,花掉所有錢喝香檳的士兵,撤退成功後塞滿車廂的香煙與橙子。
