Dunkirk with a Twist,
By James Farwell (New Orleans, LA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Dunkirk directive (Hardcover)
Hitler can't decide whether to put Britain away or make a separate peace but to make the most of his choices, on his own terms, takes advantage of British/French chaos as the 1940 blitz throws them back against the Atlantic seawall to launch a surprise raid aimed at quelling Britain's air defenses. Donaldson writes literately and he knows how to tell a story. The book is well paced, tense, interesting. It's main drawback is the lack of any identfiable protagonist. The action mainly follows what the Germans are up to, and though tough and resourceful, there's no way you pull for any of them. That's what separates this book -- and it is a good read -- from Jack Higgins' superior effort, WHERE EAGLES LAND, which is distinguished by more solid and interesting characterization.
