Natural born heroes

Investigates how a small band of Resistance fighters on the island of Crete in World War 2 were able to abduct a German general while surrounded by German troops; discovers that techniques for extraordinary endurance, natural movement, and nutrition allowed the ancient Greek soldiers and Cretan shepherds to cross mountains on all-night missions; and provides inspiration for readers to leave the gym and take fitness routines to nature to climb, swim, skip, throw, and jump to heroic feats.
