This new Making of... book, written by James Mottram and with a foreword by the film's director, Christopher Nolan, gives a behind-the-scenes look at the gripping action-thriller Dunkirk, which brings to life one of World War II’s most pivotal battles.

The Making of Dunkirk tells the incredible story of how Nolan brought this crucial moment in World War II to life on the screen using innovative film-making techniques that give the film a gritty, exhilarating realism rarely seen in modern cinema. Featuring interviews with the director and key department heads and filled with never-before-seen imagery from the shoot, plus concept art, storyboards, and other amazing visuals, The Making of Dunkirk is the ultimate insider’s look at one of the most anticipated films of 2017.
