The decisive action took place within five days, and twice its outcome hung in the balance. By the third day, 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. With its vivid and compelling description of the battle for Crete, Clark confirmed his reputation as a military historian first recognised with The Donkeys, his account of the British Expeditionary Force in France in 1914. 1080059 6 2001 The Fall of Crete (Cassell Military Paperbacks) total:6|4:2|3:3|2:1| 6 19 6 1 2 0 true false Mon Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Nov 18 09:32:06 -0800 2008 Sun Dec 07 16:30:13 -0800 2008 If you know much about Alan Clark, or have chuc...more...]]> 4 0 false false Wed Jul 08 01:15:24 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 08 01:15:31 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Mon Jun 01 00:50:32 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 01 00:50:32 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Fri May 01 06:42:41 -0700 2009 Fri May 01 06:42:41 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Tue Jan 13 12:50:31 -0800 2009 Fri Dec 26 08:43:40 -0800 2008 Tue Jan 13 12:50:31 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Tue Jan 08 17:40:51 -0800 2008 Tue Jan 08 17:40:51 -0800 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=1093243
