Ill Met By Moonlight describes the dazzling WWII kidnapping from Crete of a German general. The Englishmen, W. Stanley Moss and Patrick Leigh Fermor, pulled off the abduction, and then with their Cretan partisans hiked for days through treacherous mountains to rendezvous, amidst German patrols, with a British boat that whisked them and their prized prisoner-of-war safely to Cairo. W. Stanley Moss was a war hero and best-selling author in the 1950s. He traveled extensively, notably to Antarctica with a British Antarctic Expedition. Eventually he settled in Kingston, Jamaica, and died at age forty-four.
