"The Little Ships: The Heroic Rescue at Dunkirk in World War II" by Louise Borden recounts the remarkable evacuation of British and Allied troops from Dunkirk in 1940, during World War II. As the German army advances, thousands of soldiers find themselves trapped on the beach, surrounded by enemy forces. In a race against time, ordinary citizens answer the call to help by sailing their small boats across the English Channel to rescue stranded soldiers. This gripping story highlights bravery, determination, and the spirit of community in the face of overwhelming odds, showcasing the power of heroism during a critical moment in history.
