El estudio más documentado y brillante que existe sobre la batalla de Creta.
En mayo de 1941, Hitler ordenó la ocupación de Creta para culminar la campaña del Meditérraneo oriental y proteger los yacimientos de petróleo rumanos de la amenaza aliada. Antony Beevor nos relata la épica resistencia del pueblo de Creta, y lo hace con esa mezcla de talento literario y rigor que caracterizan sus bestsellers.
