The story of one of the most epic battles fought between German and Allied forces during the Second World War. The decisive action took place within five days and by the third, the number of German dead exceeded their losses in all other theatres since the outbreak of hostilities. The German parachutists were confined for supply and reinforcements to a single airstrip at Maleme, yet on this one foothold they managed to land over eight thousand men, who defeated an Allied army nearly five times as numerous. Card covers slightly creased, but still a useful study copy.

Continuing the stories of some of the men and women first encountered in 'Finest Hour', these first-hand accounts of ordinary people create an unforgettable portrait. As British troops retreat before Rommel, Egypt and the Suez Canal appear certain to fall, Nazi bombers blast Malta and Hitler's army sweeps forward in Russia as his U-boats sink record numbers of Allied merchant ships, Washington is close to panic, while in London Members of Parliament call for Churchill to resign. From occupied Europe comes the first evidence of Nazi death camps.

The foreword by Douglas Bader describes this as an unusual Prisoner of War story. It is not the story of a successful escape but the story of the author and a group who escaped from a POW camp in Eastern Germany, getting farther down the route to the Southeast and the Balkans. Recaptured time and time again but never reaching their goal in Turkey. They were eventually rescued from Romania by the US Army Air Force.
