Almost any stretch of his life might be described as a picaresque interlude."Patrick Leigh FermorDuring the Second World War, Xan Fielding served for two years as an officer in the British Special Operations Executive on German-occupied Crete, where he ran an intelligence network in cooperation with the Cretan resistance movement.Seven years later, Fielding returned Bedtime Favorites (3rd Edition) download ebook pdf to Crete to spend a year traveling in the island's White Mountains (the "stronghold" of the title), revisiting sites of his wartime exploits and seeking out former comrades who had returned to their peacetime lives.
