Later, when McDougall met a dedicated amateur historian, he saw a connection to one of the most fascinating mysteries of World War II: how did a small band of Resistance fighters surrounded by German troops kidnap a top German general? What he discovered is that ancestral techniques for extraordinary endurance, natural movement, and nutrition allowed ancient Greek soldiers and Cretan shepherds to race across mountains on all-night missions. Inspired by their heroic acts, McDougall sets off to discover the lost art of the hero, both throughout history and across the world"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 940.53495 Mc Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.53495 Mc Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.53495 Mc Checked In Add Copy to MyList Koloa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 940.53495 Mc Checked In Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.53495 Mc Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.53495 Mc Transit Add Copy to MyList North Kohala Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.53495 Mc Checked In Add Copy to MyList
