Summary:
"Der Gedanke, den deutschen Kommandeur genfangenzunehmen, hatte im Herbst davor allmählich Gestalt angenommen... Wir könnten die Moral der deutschen Streitkräfte auf Kreta entscheidend treffen - ein schwerer Schlag gegen ihr Selbstvertrauen und ihr Ansehen. Auch auf uns würde eine solche Aktion nicht ohne Wirkung bleiben."--Back cover
"One of the most daring feats in
Patrick
Leigh
Fermor
's daring life was the kidnapping of General Kreipe, the German commander in
Crete
, on April 26, 1944. Abducting a General, now published for the first time in the United States, is
Leigh
Fermor
's own account of the kidnapping. Written in his inimitable prose, and introduced by the acclaimed Special Operations Executive historian Roderick Bailey, it is a glorious firsthand account of one of the great adventures of the Second World War. Also included in this book are
Leigh
Fermor
's intelligence reports sent from caves deep within
Crete
, which bring the immediacy of SOE operations vividly alive, as well as the peril under which the SOE and Resistance were operating, and a guide to the journey that Kreipe took, from the abandonment of his car to the embarkation site, so that the modern visitor to
Crete
can relive this extraordinary trip."
