Winter in Madrid by CJ Sansom

Rating: WARTY!

"After the Spanish Civil War, Harry Brett, a Dunkirk veteran turned British spy, finds himself entangled in a web of danger and intrigue." Okay someone is going to have to unpack this one for me. Since Dunkirk (1940) was after the Spanish civil war (1936-9), then why begin the description with 'after the Spanish Civil war? Does the author not know the one preceded the other? Or is it jsut that the book blurb writer is a moron? I'm confused, so a hard pass on this one.
