Description
Wes Davis’ fascinating retelling of the famous campaign led by Patrick Leigh Fermor during the Second World War, to liberate Crete from the Nazis. It involved meticulous planning, Paddy himself living in caves for months and getting to know the local peasants and their dialect, then the mission itself, fraught with death and danger of captivity and torture, whose audacious target was the capture of a high-ranking Nazi official – whom Paddy ended up becoming friends with, as they sat in caves quoting Ovid to each other. This is the paperback edition in very good condition.
