Quote from preface, written by 2nd Lt. Hassoldt Davis, First Flying Column of Spahia, Fighting French Forces, Middle East.:
"No one could be better fitted to write this epic of modern Crete and her great champions. No blooded man has tried. This is a tale told by a war corresondent whose delight it is to get the news first-hand with the first line of troops, and whose satisfaction is to write it precisely, with a rhythm appropriate to its theme and with a balance of dramatic values which, is I feel, unequalled in the correspondence of war today. This is a tale of high courage, of high guilt, and of a swaggering, confident retreat". Laurent Laloup le mardi 10 juillet 2007 Réponse : Et Amilakvari n'est pas mort en mai, mais le 24 octobre 1942
