A daring behind-enemy-lines mission from the author of A Time of Gifts and The B
roken Road, who was once described by the BBC as 'a cross between Indiana Jones,
James Bond and Graham Greene'. Although a story often told, this is the first t
ime Patrick Leigh Fermor's own account of the kidnapping of General Kriepe, has
been published. One of the greatest feats in Patrick Leigh Fermor's remarkable l
ife was the kidnapping of General Kreipe, the German commander in Crete, on 26 A
pril 1944.
