If any one has books about Dunkirk, feel free to list them!

One of my favorites is "Before the Dawn" by Brigadier Sir John Smyth, VC.

The author, a Victoria Cross winner, has the distinction of having taken part in two major retreats of the Second World War, Dunkirk in 1940 and Burma in 1942. This book is a description of both these British military disasters as seen through the eyes of a Brigade and then a Divisional Commander. It is also an assessment of where the responsibility lies for each failure. Fully illustrated with photographs and maps.
