Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Through vivid eyewitness accounts from British, German, and Italian veterans, along with many photographs (some never before published), follow the dramatic events of Churchill's doomed attempt to open up a new front in the Eastern Mediterranean. The clash took place in 1943 in Greece's Dodecanese Islands; with no air cover for the British troops, and the fierce opposition of Germany's most able soldiers, men and materiel were sacrificed in three months of operations that ended with the Aegean under Nazi control until the end of the war.
