Perhaps overlooked due to his later books like 'Stalingrad' , Crete 1941 is just as good as any of his historical epics. The plans, the battle and the aftermath are all discussed and outlined in detail. The bizarre orders, human endeavours, reversals of fortune and plain bad luck that dogged both sides; they all play there part. Read it.

Scary how close victory was during this battle...
