    About this ebook

    It all started with a promise to a girl he hardly knew...

    Love, Freedom or Death is a love story set against the resistance struggle in Crete during World War 2.

    Inspired by true events, it follows impetuous young Dudley Watkins, a New Zealand Sergeant, as he journeys from the disillusionment of defeat in the battle of Crete to the willingness to risk all for the island he has come to love.

    Love, Freedom or Death tells of a man who kept his promises, but in doing so drove others to break theirs, a man who fought to make the Cretan dream of freedom a reality and a man who falls out with his British masters while falling in love with an unattainable woman.

    Reminiscent of Captain Corelli’s Mandolin, John Bishop’s novel is a powerful story of love and betrayal.
