There are plenty of books out there on the battle of Crete, depends from which perspective you want to read about it from.

Anthony Beevor and John Hall Spencer have written good books on the subject IMO

I was in Crete in 2013 and loved it, where in Crete are you staying ?

Crete

I'm staying near Heraklion. I think I will take a copy of Crete by Anthony Beevor thanks for the info

I took Beevor's book with me and it was of great value. There are lots of other good threads too on peoples' visits.
