The Last Mission (New Edition) by Nikos Ligidakis |
|||
|
About The Book: This is an incredible story about a bomber crew shot down in enemy territory. The crewmembers made a heroic run for freedom, a run that bonded them in life and death.
Their implausible run covered several hundred miles.
They walked over the steep mountains of Yugoslavia, through the German-held valleys of a dangerous land divided into vicious guerrilla warfare.
Bands of guerrillas fought for their own causes; it was impossible to tell the enemy from a friend. Their marathon ended thirty-four days after they were shot down over Steyr, Austria.
There were days of starvation, exhaustion, snow, sunshine and lice.
Some of them made it through despite impossible odds.
Others did not.
None of them knew their fate as they made their way through a land of people who spoke a language that they could not understand.
This is a story that recounts human tragedy and captures the triumph of the human spirit.

About the Author:
Award wining author, Nikos Ligidakis, born and raised in Greece, came to America in 1969, at the age of twenty-four.
His latest book, Power and Defiance, is a labor of love, a nearly 800-page book about the integrity of individual freedom and the intense struggle for social justice. Such deep matters require not only the profound thoughts in the writing, but also equal reflective thoughts in the reading. The reader will find such thoughts throughout the pages of Power and Defiance, and hopefully will be challenged to recognize the heroism of those individuals who are perceived to be ordinary and simultaneously re-examine the character of those who proclaim themselves to be righteous and just.
William Kollar
William Kollar was born in Middleville, Michigan in 1920, and joined the United States Army in 1942, in the aftermath of the Pearl Harbor attack.
William retired from the Air Force in 1966 after serving in World War II, Korea, France, England, and Formosa. Mr. Kollar served with integrity and honor.
His story is a fascinating freedom walk of hundreds of miles while eluding the enemy for over a month. In his book you will meet an extraordinary hero, yet a humble man, who will insist that it was his duty to defend freedom.
Mr. Kollar has been decorated with the Purple Heart, Air Medal, Good Conduct Medal, European African Middle Eastern Campaign Ribbons, and Korean War Service Medal.
Mr. Kollar lives in Mesa, and has been married to his wife, Polly for 57 years. They have a son and a granddaughter. |
