Little Ships: The Heroic Rescue at Dunkirk in World War II
What's This Book About
More than 500,000 British and French soldiers were trapped in France in May of 1940. To their rescue came several men who sailed the “little ships” across the English Channel as part of a legendary armada. Many people wanted to be a part of the mission – including a girl who wanted more than anything to be part of a worthy cause.
