W. Stanley Moss: Ill Met by Moolight. The Classic Story of Wartime Daring

˝Ill Met by Moonlight is the true story of one of the most hazardous missions of the Second World War. W. Stanley Moss is one of two British officers who set out in Nazi-occupied Crete to kidnap a German general. With the help of Cretan partisans they ambush and kidnap General Kreipe, Commander of the Sevastapol Division in Crete, and narrowly escaping the German manhunt, bring him off the island - a vital prisoner for British intelligence. As an account of wartime daring and adventure, made into a memorable film, Ill Met By Moonlight is one of the most brilliantly written, exciting and compelling stories to come out of the Second World War.˝
