Churchill's Sacrifice of the Highland Division France 1940

On 12 June 1940, more than a week after the last British troops had been evacuated from Dunkirk, the 51st (Highland) Division was forced to surrender to Rommel's 7th Panzer Division at St Valery-en-Caux. More than 10,000 members of the Division were imprisoned. Drawing on over 100 personal interviews with survivors of the battle, on unit war diaries, letters and journals, as well as official documents, the author traces the story of the Highland Division from its arrival in France, to the final, desperate stand in the little Normandy seaport of St Valery.David, Saul is the author of 'Churchill's Sacrifice of the Highland Division France 1940', published 2004 under ISBN 9781857533781 and ISBN 185753378X.
