From the olive-groved lanes of Crete to the furnace of North Africa, this book thrusts you into the fight alongside a New Zealand officer whose courage, clarity, and refusal to yield became legend.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTold with the pace of a high-octane thriller and the discipline of first-rate history, it charts Upham's knife-edge patrols, street-to-street battles, and desperate rearguard actions; the night marches and wire-cutting raids that shaped fortunes; and the brutal mornings when tanks came on and men stood anyway.
