interesting article on Britain's campaign in the Aegean in WWII

The review/article is nice insofar as its telling of the British efforts in the Aegean, (which is generally ignored in most histories of the War). Unfortunately, most of the criticisms of Churchill and his policies are based on a too-comfortable revisionism coupled with 20/20 hindsight and a general ignorance of geopolitics of the time which I have no sympathy with.
