Description:
"The Cretan Resistance movement was one of the most successful in Europe. The abduction of German General Kreipe, the sabotage operations, the countless trivial and bloody brushes and the destruction of war material put considerable strain on the Germans who were forced to maintain large units on the island to the expense of the war theatres outside Crete ... [With] a wealth of documents and photographs that were unearthed from hundreds of homesteads, archives and publications, I have been able to compile the present volume ... the short texts, explanatory notes, legends and captions accompanying the photographic material constitute an invaluable source of information for laymen and researchers alike"--Foreword.
About the battle -- Before the battle -- The great battle -- Occupation -- The Nome of Lassithi during the German-Italian occupation -- The resistance of the Cretans -- The capture of the German general Karl Kreipe -- Epilogue of the war -- Withdrawal of the conquerors -- The end of the tyrants.
