From the critically acclaimed author of Dunkirk 1940, this is a groundbreaking history of the epic three-day battle for Hill 107 that changed the course of the war in the Mediterranean. In this remarkable story, we discover each of the individuals whose actions determined the outcome of the battle for Hill 107, the pivotal event that decided the campaign to capture the strategic island of Crete in May 1941. All events are recounted through the testimonies of these eyewitnesses. The allied perspective is from the top of Hill 107. We experience the fear and adrenaline of a humble section commander, Captain Ed Macara, who is in a precarious position at the top of the hill, alongside the battle fatigue of his battalion commander, Captain Leslie Andrew. In contrast, the German viewpoint is looking up as they try to hold onto the slopes, simultaneously frustrated by the brightness of the morning and the losses from defensive fire. We join the battalion's medic, Dr. Heinrich Neumann, as he takes command of a battalion and leads a daring night attack towards the summit. The Hill reveals what was felt, heard, or seen during the battle for both attackers and defenders. Drawing from original battle reports, diaries, letters, and interviews, the battle comes to life with vividness. The narrative reads like a Shakespearean tragedy, with soldiers revealing their stories around the shadows of Hill 107.
