Description

Ill Met by Moonlight is a true story of one of the most hazardous missions of the Second World War. In 1943, W. Stanley Moss and Major Patrick Leigh Fermor embarked on a perilous operation to kidnap General Kreipe, Commander of the Sevastopool Division, from Nazi-occupied Crete. Their mission was to bring General Kreipe off the island, a vital prisoner for British intelligence. The account of this daring adventure is one of the most thrilling and compelling stories to come out of the Second World War, made into a film starring Dirk Bogarde. This book tells the story of Moss's bravery and cunning as he navigates the treacherous landscape of Crete, evading capture by the German forces.
