Description

Xan Fielding's memoir of his wartime exploits is a remarkable account of one man's bravery and ingenuity. In 1942, he landed on German-occupied Crete with orders to disrupt the resupply of Rommel's Afrika Korps and establish an intelligence network in cooperation with the Cretan resistance movement. Working with bands of Cretan partisans, Fielding succeeded magnificently, venturing to the coast only to guide a supply submarine or smuggle endangered colleagues to safety in Cairo. His story is one of quiet heroism, presented in a vivid and close-up style that reveals a man who lived outside the limelight. This memoir offers a unique portrait of an English operative-amateur, gifted, daring, and charming. It is a testament to Fielding's modesty, grace, and humour, as well as his remarkable survival of the dangers he faced during this period.
