Description
We Die Alone recounts one of the most exciting escape stories to emerge from the challenges and miseries of World War II.
In March 1943, a team of expatriate Norwegian commandos sailed from northern England for Nazi-occupied arctic Norway to organize and supply the Norwegian resistance. But they were betrayed and the Nazis ambushed them. Only one man survived - Jan Baalsrud. This is the incredible and gripping story of his escape. Frostbitten and snowblind, pursued by the Nazis, he dragged himself on until he reached a small arctic village. He was near death, delirious and a virtual cripple. But the villagers, at mortal risk to themselves, were determined to save him, and - through impossible feats - they did.
We Die Alone is an unforgettable portrait of the determination of the human spirit.
