Entry Text: | HECKSTALL-SMITH, Anthony, & BAILLIE-GROHMANN, H. T. Greek Tragedy. 231p., bibliog., illus. London: Blond; New York: Norton, 1961.
A forthright account of the evacuation of Greece, which led to a libel action. Heckstall-Smith was a junior officer in command of a landing craft, while Baillie-Grohmann was the Admiral in charge of the naval side of the shore arrangements. This gives them a personal knowledge, which is used to good advantage. |
