註釋"December 1939: The world is at war, but there is little sign of it in sleepy Waihau Bay on New Zealand's East Coast. Seeking adventure and broader horizons, 21 year old Tuatahi enlists with the Maori Battalion. His first taste of action sees him fighting in the disastrous Battle of Greece, where Tuatahi and his comrades are pushed back by the advancing Axis forces. In the chaos of the evacuation, dozens of soldiers are left behind, Tuatahi among them. Separated from his unit, his battle becomes one of survival as he finds refuge in the Piraeus underworld, an assortment of tough guys, hashish smokers, revolutionaries, prostitutes and knife fighters. Tuatahi is captivated by Dora, a stunning singer of Rebetiko -- "the Greek Blues"--And finds himself torn between duty and desire."--Back cover of physical version.
