Description
Crete, May 1941, was a desperate hour for British forces in the Mediterranean. Against all odds, Nick Everard and his crew faced an unrelenting Luftwaffe assault on their destroyer, Tuareg. Their mission to evacuate troops, an Australian field hospital, and thirty nurses from under German noses seemed like a miracle. The situation was dire, with 2,000 German bombers waiting in the wings. The flotilla had to navigate treacherous skies, then make a perilous journey round the Aegean before escaping Crete. It was a gamble that could save them - or seal their fate. Alexander Fullerton's gripping account of this harrowing episode combines personal drama with heart-stopping naval action, offering an unforgettable reading experience.
