Massacre on the Road to Dunkirk by Leslie Aitken

A powerful account of a lesser-known tragedy during the Dunkirk campaign, bringing attention to the violence, fear and human suffering that can disappear behind the familiar story of evacuation.

From Dad's Collection

This copy comes from my dad's personal collection. Dad was an actor and scriptwriter with a genuine interest in the overlooked human stories behind major historical events. He was drawn to books that moved beyond the best-known version of history and gave proper attention to ordinary people caught in frightening and extraordinary circumstances. His collection remains an important part of Kate's Treasures15, with each book now looking for a new home where it can continue to be read and appreciated.

Written by Leslie Aitken, Massacre on the Road to Dunkirk examines one of the lesser-known tragedies connected with the Dunkirk campaign during the Second World War.

Rather than concentrating solely on military operations, the book considers the experiences of those caught in the violence and confusion, presenting a more difficult picture of Dunkirk that extends beyond evacuation and survival.

A moving and thought-provoking work for readers interested in Dunkirk, Second World War history and the human consequences hidden behind major military events.

Arya's Approval

This looks beyond the familiar story of Dunkirk to the violence and suffering that unfolded around it. A serious account that reminds the reader how easily individual experiences can disappear beneath a larger national story.
