When German paratroops dropped on Crete in 1941, it was the first and only time in the history of warfare that an island was conquered from the air. But the Battle of Crete was a far greater triumph for the Nazis than most Americans know. The author's skill at unraveling military actions gives us an understanding of the significance of this crucial battle of World War II  (#09)
