Good, if brief, summary of Balkan campaign. Reviews political, logistical, and force aspects of the campaigns, but left me wanting to know more of somethings but less of others. For example, he lists a detailed order of battle for the German forces arranged against Yugoslavia, but leaves you to find out on your own what the composition of a German Tank Corps would be, when a simple table would provide lots of clarity. For the Yugoslavia campaign, the bulk of the writing involves preparations, and the combat narrative is a bare skeleton. The Greek campaign is described in somewhat more detail and leaves the reader with a better understanding. The photos might be interesting if they were not too fuzzy to interpret. The maps are almost illegible and therefore unhelpful.
