About This Item
Garden City, NY.: Sun Dial Press, 1945 Book. Very Good. Cloth. First Thus. this story opens in Tunis and moves to Crete before and during the German invasion. Sylvia Day had visited her brother Richard, an archaeologist in Crete, in peacetime, where a lyrical love affair with a debonair Italian was ended by the outbreak of war. Fate returns her to the island, this time as a young nurse in the Army that has returned from Greece and is now making a heroic stand against the German air invasion. Linked with her in this drama are her brother, now an aviator, her former Italian lover, a young Nazi prisoner, and a naval lieutenant. When defeat comes, Sylvia Day, assisted by Janet Farr, a hoyden of rugged independence, leads the heroic band of survivors, who cannot be evacuated, up into the mountains. Using her former villa as headquarters and an ancient labyrinth as a fortress, she builds up an organization that infuriates the invader and baffles his utmost vigilence. This drama, personal as well as international, with its background of the terrific struggle by air, sea, and land, comes to a tense finale, played out against the wild beauty of the Cretan mountains. It is a story of quenchless heroism that unites fiction and history" 278p.maps on end papers..
