British special forces officers W. Stanley Moss and Patrick Leigh Fermor, together with a small band of Cretan partisans, kidnapped the general, then evaded numerous German checkpoints and patrols for nearly three weeks as they maneuvered across the mountainous island to a rendezvous with the boat that finally whisked them away to Allied headquarters in Cairo. "It was a mad adventure, and it came off. Moss recorded the whole escapade in a diary, which survives as a thrilling account of one of the most reckless and dramatic actions of the war."—Patrick Leigh Fermor "A twin masterpiece of action and narrative."—Spectator "[An] exciting account of a feat which demanded an extreme of daring and determination."—London Times The 2011 Paul Dry Books edition includes an Afterword by Patrick Leigh Fermor.
