War Of Shadows

The War didnt stop for Billy Moss after the Kreipe operation and it is his continuing story that Billy recounts in war of Shadows, the sequel to the bestselling Ill Met By Moonlight. He reflects movingly about what it means to fight and deal in death, how the turmoil of operations behind enemy lines in a foreign country are dependent on the goodwill of local inhabitants, and surprisingly, of the moments of high humour. It is at once exciting and reflective. The books is in three parts - the aftermath of the General Kreipe kidnap with continuing operations against the Germans in Crete; working with communist guerillas in Macedonia as the Germans retreated and Greece fell into Civil War; parachuted into Siam, he became part of the administration dealing with the aftermath of war in a very colourful environment. Billy is as effective with his pen as with his sword - the San Francisco Chronicle said of Ill met By Moonlight This amazing story is marvelously well told, in an exuberant, racing style that makes it impossible to lay the book aside once the first page is read
