it was amazing

A very readable history

If you like to read about how such memorable feats occur, this book shows how many large and small efforts saved a very large number of soldiers both British and French avoid capture by a large German force. Quite possibly this rescue of troops by British civilians and part of the British navy saved allies to fight another day vs very likely jeopardizing the outcome of the war. It's clear how much was sacrificed by Britain and France to fight back Germany. Something that opened my eyes between then and now was that the Allies were hurt by lack of equipment that just wasn't avail. This seemed quite the same of our most recent engagements. Why was there such a delay in providing troops what they needed to save lives? Are men and women only worthy of being cannon fodder with odds heavily against them? I don't believe to arm for arming sake. I do however we should have plans in place to gear up quickly to manufacture what is needed if it becomes apparent that there is no other alternative.
