3.0 out of 5 stars Jumbled Story of a Rout to the Coast and Miraculous Evacuation, February 25, 2009
I have to say I enjoyed this one but to start with there are too many characters with too many vignettes. Hard to follow until some of the characters are killed off. If Harris had stuck to just a few men and women from each group (Royal Army, Wehrmacht, RAF, Luftwaffe, captain of small boat attempting rescue, French civilians caught in middle, etc.) it would have flowed more smoothly. Story of the British Expeditionary Force and its retreat to the northern coast of France in 1940, hoping to be evacuated across the Channel to England to fight another day. Many adventures are had by all the characters in the collection of vignettes. Reminds me somewhat of an Arthur Hailey novel with parallel plots colliding at the end.
