LEROS AND THE AEGEAN: September - November 1943 -- Images of War Series

1-253180

An in-depth account of the 1943 Dodecanese campaign and Britain's final decisive defeat in the Aegean. Explains how unlike Operation Market Garden and the disaster of Arnhem one year later, the Aegean was first and foremost a British venture; and as such, it may be considered the last irredeemable British defeat. For the Germans, the Aegean was a welcome reversal of recent setbacks and a final, but ultimately pointless, decisive victory. Contains 220 illustrations.
