But this book tells a different tale; of how many of the blunders that led to the deaths or imprisonment of thousands of New Zealand, Australian, British and Greek soldiers fighting on Crete were a direct consequence of the actions of our own commanders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough the Allied forces fought well, certain commanders, in part through confusion, exhaustion and incompetence, made a series of mistakes which cost dearly, leading to a humiliating defeat.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eIllustrated throughout with monochrome and colour images and maps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCONDITION\u003cbr\u003e\nNew with only light shelf wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eREMARKS\u003cbr\u003e\nSee our other listings on the subject and by this author.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unicorn Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55452075557156,"sku":null,"price":47.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1013\/1901\/6740\/files\/119858.jpg?v=1785381750","url":"https:\/\/unicornbooks.co.nz\/products\/crete-death-from-the-skies-by-david-filer-2010","provider":"Unicorn Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
