The Cretan Runner by George Psychoundakis

His Story of the German Occupation containing a translation and occupation by Patrick Leigh Fermor. On the morning of 20 May 1941, the Nazis launched an airborne invasion of the Greek island of Crete. Despite fierce opposition from the local population, within 10 days the island was taken. The Nazis exacted heavy reprisals which served only to foment one of the most determined campaigns of resistance of the entire war. A 21-year-old humble ‘mountain boy’, George Psychoundakis, was one of the local partisans who helped the small covert British force that remained on the island. The Cretan Runner is his extraordinary account of the years he spent couriering messages, smuggling arms and guiding Allied soldiers across Crete’s rugged, often treacherous mountain terrain.
