Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. First Edition By This Publisher.. 312 pages. Allied forces in Greece during WWII. "Death comesscreaming out of the sun. And it's every man for himself. Crete, 1941, Crack German troops push inexorably to take over the island as the ragged, weary remains of the British, Australian and New Zealand forces beat a bloody, chaotic across Crete's unforgiving terrain. To Gunner Lewis, a tough, irreverent Australian whose sense of justice is as strong as his will to survive, there are two wars to be fought - against a ruthless German enemy and against the arrogant, privileged authority that sends men like him to die like cattle.
