But then, something extraordinary happened. A flotilla of small boats, crewed by ordinary civilians, set sail from England to rescue the stranded soldiers. Over the course of nine days, these boats made repeated trips back and forth across the English Channel, evacuating over 338,000 troops.

The Dunkirk evacuation was a remarkable feat of courage, determination, and improvisation. It was a victory snatched from the jaws of defeat, and it played a major role in the eventual Allied victory in World War II.

In his book, Saved By The Boats, author David Howarth tells the full story of the Dunkirk evacuation. He draws on firsthand accounts from survivors, rescuers, and military planners to create a vivid and gripping narrative of one of the most extraordinary events in military history.

Saved By The Boats is a must-read for anyone interested in World War II, British history, or the power of human resilience. It is a story of courage, determination, and hope that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.
