En mayo de 1941, tras la invasión de Grecia y Yugoslavia, Hitler ordenó la ocupación de Creta para culminar la campaña del Mediterráneo oriental y proteger los yacimientos de petróleo rumanos. Los nazis lanzaron un espectacular despliegue aerotransportado y la caída de Creta privó a los aliados de una base fundamental en el Mediterráneo y permitió a los alemanes proteger su flanco sur ara iniciar la invasión de la Unión Soviética.
En este libro (publicado anteriormente con el título La batalla de Creta), Antony Beevor brinda al lector el estudio más brillante y mejor documentado que existe sobre la batalla y sobre la épica resistencia del pueblo de Creta, y lo hace con esa mezcla de talento literario e información de primera mano que caracteriza sus grandes ventas Stalingrado y Berlín y que, como ha escritor Patrick L. Fernor, «te hace vivir las acciones militares y el desarrollo del conflicto como si hubieran sucedido la semana anterior».

Work Description
"The bestselling author of Stalingrad and D-Day vividly reconstructs the epic WWII struggle for Crete--reissued with a new introduction. Nazi Germany expected its airborne attack on Crete in 1941 to be a textbook victory based on tactical surprise. Little did they know that the British, using Ultra intercepts, had already laid a careful trap. It should have been the first German defeat of the war when a fatal misunderstanding turned the battle around. Prize-winning historian and bestselling author Antony Beevor lends his gift for storytelling to this important conflict, showing not only how the situation turned bad for Allied forces, but also how ferocious Cretan freedom fighters mounted a heroic resistance. Originally published in 1991, Crete 1941 is a breathtaking account of a momentous battle of World War II"--
