La épica historia de Dunkirk, mayo de 1940: cuando más de 300.000 tropas aliadas atrapadas fueron dramáticamente rescatadas de la destrucción a manos de la Alemania Nazi por una extraordinaria evacuación vía marítima. La historia real de los soldados, marineros, aviadores y civiles implicados en la evacuación durante los nueve días desde el 27 de mayo a 4 de junio de 1940 se ha convertido en leyenda. Ahora el tema de la película del director Christopher Nolan, protagonizada por Kenneth Branagh, Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, Mark Rylance y Harry Styles. La historia que Winston Churchill describió como un «milagro» es detallada por el autor best seller Joshua Levine en su contexto completo y avasallador. Incluye nuevas entrevistas con veteranos y supervivientes, este libro va más allá de las escenas para explorar la vida real de esos soldados, bombardeados y ametrallados en las playas durante días, sin comida ni municiones; los civiles cuyas embarcaciones fueron sobrecargadas; los aviadores que arriesgaron sus vidas para comprarle tiempo valioso en tierra a sus compañeros; y aquellos que no lograron escapar. Contada desde las perspectivas terrestre, marítima y aérea, Dunkirk™ por Joshua Levine es una narración dramática de esta gloriosa derrota.

The Saboteur: The Aristocrat Who Became France's Most Daring Anti-Nazi Commando by Paul Kix

Title: The Saboteur: The Aristocrat Who Became France's Most Daring Anti-Nazi Commando Author: Paul Kix Narrator: Malcolm Hillgartner Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 15 minutes Release date: December 5, 2017 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.55 of Total 11 Ratings of Narrator: 4.67 of Total 6 Genres: Military Publisher's Summary: In the tradition of Agent Zigzag comes this breathtaking biography, as fast-paced and emotionally intuitive as the very best spy thrillers, which illuminates an unsung hero of the French Resistance during World War II—Robert de La Rochefoucald, an aristocrat turned anti-Nazi saboteur—and his daring exploits as a résistant trained by Britain’s Special Operations Executive. A scion of one of the most storied families in France, Robert de La Rochefoucald was raised in magnificent chateaux and educated in Europe's finest schools. When the Nazis invaded and imprisoned his father, La Rochefoucald escaped to England and learned the dark arts of anarchy and combat—cracking safes and planting bombs and killing with his bare hands—from the officers of Special Operations Executive, the collection of British spies, beloved by Winston Churchill, who altered the war in Europe with tactics that earned it notoriety as the “Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.” With his newfound skills, La Rochefoucauld returned to France and organized Resistance cells, blew up fortified compounds and munitions factories, interfered with Germans’ war-time missions, and executed Nazi officers. Caught by the Germans, La Rochefoucald withstood months of torture without cracking, and escaped his own death, not once but twice. The Saboteur recounts La Rochefoucauld’s enthralling adventures, from jumping from a moving truck on his way to his execution to stealing Nazi limos to dressing up in a nun’s habit—one of his many disguises and impersonations. Whatever the mission, whatever the dire circumstance, La Rochefoucauld acquitted himself nobly, with the straight-back aplomb of a man of aristocratic breeding: James Bond before Ian Fleming conjured him. More than just a fast-paced, true thriller, The Saboteur is also a deep dive into an endlessly fascinating historical moment, telling the untold story of a network of commandos that battled evil, bravely worked to change the course of history, and inspired the creation of America’s own Central Intelligence Agency.

Title: Those Who Fall Author: John Muirhead Narrator: Robertson Dean Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 55 minutes Release date: December 5, 2017 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.5 of Total 2 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Military Publisher's Summary: As a B-17 Flying Fortress bomber pilot, John Muirhead led missions into northern Italy, Germany, and Bulgaria during World War II. Ultimately, he was shot down and taken prisoner. John Muirhead’s re-creation of those years is a breathtaking mingling of ravaging horrors and silent, surreal images; of raw, tumultuous memory and elegantly paced narrative; of lightening humor and measured reflection. Seldom has a reader been made to feel terror so viscerally. Rarely has a reader ascended the skies so thrillingly. And never has one felt so close to the numbing fear, the boredom, the eerie beauty, and the dislocated sensibilities of war in the air as in Those Who Fall.
