520 1 $a"Written on the Knee is a compilation of writing and images offering a unique eyewitness account of the Greek-Italian conflict of WWII. At its heart is the fascinating and heartrendering diary of a newlywed doctor, Theodore Electris, suddenly torn from his wife and immersed in a bloody war of attrition in the rugged Albanian mountains. Almost every diary entry mentions his "sweet wife," Chrysoula, but also describes the immediate frustrations and horrors of the conflict. Despite knowing from the prologue that "Phaedia" survives, the diary entries crease a tension that compels readers to keep moving with him, page after page."
520 8 $a"Written on the Knee is a book for every history buff and every person of Greek extraction. The three hundred Spartans and other great heroes of ancient Greece have their modern counterparts in the Greek army, which valiantly defended its homeland in the freezing graveyard of the Albanian mountains. The same valorous spirit found throughout Greece's history shines through in this gripping diary of one homesick doctor on the front lines."--Jacket.
