Soft cover book; 295 pages, 28 chapters; measures 211mm x 134mm x 20mm. Illustrated with a map. In excellent condition. Description from back cover: "On December 17, 1942, a young New Zealander, Bill Jordan, parachuted into occupied Greece in search of a lost British commando unit... It was the beginning of fifteen exhausting months of sabotage and hit-and-run fighting behind enemy lines. But Conquests Without Victory is more than a thrilling war story. It is also a chronicle of the intense political infighting between Greek Communists and Greek Nationalists which erupted into bitter civil war before his eyes. As an intelligence officer, Jordan's reports to Churchill and his generals played a major role in determining the fate of post-war Greece... For his courage and dedication Jordan was awarded an MBE and an MC. His memoirs are an incredible true story of endurance and heroism by one of New Zealand's most decorated war heroes."
