Between September 1939 and June 1940, the British Expeditionary Force confronted the German threat to France and Flanders with a confused mind-set, an uncertain skills-set and an uncompetitive capability. This book explores the formation's origins, the scale of defeat in France and the campaign's considerable legacy.

Dr Edward Smalley is an independent scholar, who studied history at the University of Kent, UK. His main research interest is British military history, particularly in the inter-war and Second World War period.
