Autor Maria Hill
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 mar 2010
Combines details of the Greek and Crete campaigns during WWII with an account of the response of Greeks and Cretans to the Allied forces on their soil. This book shows why the campaigns on mainland Greece and Crete compelled people to behave in altruistic ways, even when it meant placing themselves in danger.
