Operation Mercury: the Battle for Crete, 1941 (Stackpole Military History Series)
John Sadler
Detailed study of a brief but bloody campaign
Full of personal accounts of air, ground, and naval actions
Author has made numerous trips to Crete and knows the ground well
The fall of Crete in May 1941 was a catastrophic blow to the Allied cause. Nevertheless, the British, New Zealand, and Australian defenders forced the German invaders to pay a heavy price for victory. The daring German parachute assault, the first major example of its kind, proved a near disaster--so much so that Hitler never sanctioned another. But the Germans recovered, gained the initiative, and took the island in ten days.
