Description:
This WW2 military history "combin[es] a look at the background to the battle . . . and the ground level memories of the participants with great skill." (History of War.org)

After two years' extensive research, John Hall Spencer has written a thorough account of the political and military background to the German invasion of Crete and the bitter fighting that followed the first airborne assault on an island in history. Battle for Crete tells of confused negotiations between the British and Greek governments; the misunderstandings between Winston Churchill's War Cabinet and commanders in the field; the near capture of the King of Greece; the lack of preparation by the defenders and the suppression of a critical post-battle report by General Wavell.

There are vivid eyewitness accounts of the fighting both during the invasion and the subsequent campaign and ultimate retreat and evacuation. The Royal Navy and Royal Air Force's contribution is well documented, as are the roles of the German air force, in this "close run" campaign fought with aggression by both sides.
