The Hill

Robert Kershaw has written a vivid narrative that is rich in detail and based on, but not burdened by, prodigious research. The result is a well-written page-turner about a hard-fought battle that really mattered. * Jonathan Dimbleby, broadcaster and author *
Using first-hand accounts from both sides, the author focuses on the actions around Hill 107 and weaves a gripping account in such a way that it reads more like a conversation or interview of veterans… This is one of the finest works on the Crete campaign. * Gunmart *
A compelling read. * Miniature Wargames *
The narrative stars alongside numerous contemporary photographs and a useful addendum listing the key characters and their fates, making The Hill a superb addition to the Battle of Crete historiography. Highly recommended. * Britain at War *
