Bøger af Jean-Charles Stasi

Four years before the Allied landing in Normandy, the French coast was the scene of another major episode of the Second World War. This is Operation Dynamo, much less well known than D-Day. Between 27 May and June 4, nearly 350,000 British and French soldiers were evacuated from the Dunkirk pocket by a heterogeneous fleet of 850 boats. Nearly 80 years later, Jean-Charles Stasi, author of several successful books published by Heimdal publishes this major history of one of the most pivotal actions of WWII in a book illustrated with numerous photographs in black and white and color, as well as maps, computer graphics, aircraft profiles and boats. Text in French.

Operation Dynamo is here narrated in detail with numerous period photos. This military operation and human adventure without precedent breathes again, 77 years later thanks to the film director Christopher Nolan which, with Dunkirk, has become an international blockbuster, to which a chapter of this book is devoted.

More than seventy-five years after wards, "Chariot" is still thought of as the most daring and most spectacular commando operation of the whole of WWII.
