Abstract

Sir Michael Howard has justly called the British decision in February 1941 to send a British military force to rescue the Greeks an ‘ill-fated decision’. Much has been written about the unfortunate Greek expedition, and this book will not aim to duplicate what has been well-described elsewhere, since the consequence would be to make this book much too long.
