About this listen

NOW WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY W. STANLEY MOSS'S DAUGHTER GABRIELLA BULLOCK AND AN AFTERWORD BY PATRICK LEIGH FERMOR

Ill Met By Moonlight is the true story of one of the most hazardous missions of the Second World War. W. Stanley Moss is a young British officer who, along with Major Patrick Leigh Fermor, sets out in Nazi-occupied Crete to kidnap General Kreipe, Commander of the Sevastopool Division, and narrowly escaping the German manhunt, bring him off the island - a vital prisoner for British intelligence.

As an account of derring-do and wartime adventure, made into a classic film starring Dirk Bogarde, Ill Met By Moonlight is one of the most brilliantly written, exciting and compelling stories to come out of the Second World War.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

The performance is a bit wooden. Very good details of the Cretan landscape and people. A view into a long lost world.

Beautiful and sympathetic description of old Crete

This was a great story but the narrator was awful. Sadly he didn't do the book justice.

Great story, awful narration

A great story of daring, that describes well the intense thriller and intense boredom faced. Some hilarious and almost farcical moments. The narrator is tone dead and really made me struggle. Lucky it's short.
