Title: Walter Lord's Miracle of Dunkirk
Post by: K Frame on July 21, 2017, 10:37:48 AM
It's on sale right now at Amazon. Kindle version, $1.99.

I've heard that it's excellent, so I bought it.

There better be an appropriate number of black chicks in that book, or I am going to riot have a mostly peaceful demonstration!

Or go to my safe space. Not sure yet.

Clutch your man bun with your left hand and suck your right thumb.


I'm in a very interesting discussion over at USA today in the comments section about the review. A couple of people said there were no people of color at Dunkirk.

Patently false. The British Expeditionary Force had a number of Indian units attached to it, and the French had at least 5 regiments of Senegalese colonials stationed in France at the outbreak of the war.

Members of both groups were evacuated by the flotilla.

I guess they could have put some of those guys in the movie, so the Left could complain about imperialism being portrayed in a positive light.

I guffawed, simply because it's sooooo accurate...

Gotta admit, that one's a winner.

I just got a notification about it from one of the ebook mailing lists I'm on.  Oddly enough, when I clicked through this morning it was $1.99, and now it says $1.51.
