Reseña del editor
The legendary story of a resistance hero
'Full of death and excitement' - Sunday Times
'Unique' - TLS
George Psychoundakis was a young shepherd boy who knew the island of Crete intimately when the Nazis invaded by air in 1941. He immediately joined the resistance and took on the crucial job of war-time runner.
It was not only the toughest but the most dangerous job of all. It involved immense journeys carrying vital messages, smuggling arms and explosives and guiding Allied soldiers, agents and commandos through heavily garrisoned territory. And George did not escape capture and torture on his many forays.
This brilliant account of George's activities across mountainous terrain, come blazing summer or freezing winter, is a gripping story of bravery against impossible odds.

THE CRETAN RUNNER
Anbieter: Military History Books, Weymouth, DORSE, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
(Subject: World War II - Mediterranean/Balkans) Originally published in 1955, this translation by Patrick Leigh Fermor, tells the story of the Resistance in Crete, from the German invasion to the liberation by one of its most active participants. Psychoundakis was an intermediary between the various groups of British on the island despite great personal danger. This is the story of the heroic deeds of the author and his part in the resistance. The 'runners' were an elite band of Cretans who carried messages, smuggled arms and led Allied soldiers through the occupied land escaping detection by the Germans.
