Set against the backdrop of World War II, the narrative explores the precarious situation faced by Anzac troops in Greece during April 1941. As German forces advance towards Larissa, the Anzac Corps struggles with slow command responses and logistical challenges. The story highlights the bravery and ingenuity of small groups of soldiers, particularly the New Zealanders, who manage to delay the German onslaught. The book delves into the dynamics of command, the misappropriation of resources, and the critical decisions that ultimately allow for the successful evacuation of the Anzac Corps.
