Battle of Crete

Renowned military historian George Forty examines in detail the history of the Battle of Crete. Drawing upon a remarkable selection of contemporary photographs, allied with first-hand recollections from those who fought in the battle, the Battle of Crete examines in detail, largely from the individual fighting soldier, sailor and airman's viewpoint, one of the most bitterly contested engagements of the early war years. This timely examination of an important, but often overlooked, battle will be essential reading for all historians of World War 2.
