Tells the story of the secret war on Crete from the perspective of these amateur soldiers who found themselves serving because, as one of them put it, they had made 'the obsolete choice of Greek at school'.
The true story of the eccentric band of British intelligence officers who stood in the way of Hitler's plans to take Crete as a staging ground for German domination of the Middle East, conducting audacious sabotage operations in the very shadow of the Nazi occupation force. Now in paperback.
