Synopsis

In March 1943 a team of expatriate Norwegian commandos sailed from the most northerly part of Britain for Nazi-occupied Norway. Their mission was to organise and support the Norwegian resistance. They were betrayed, and only one man survived the ambush by the Nazis.

Crippled by frostbite, snow-blind and hunted by the Nazis, Jan Baalstrud managed to find a tiny arctic village. There - delirious, near death - he found villagers willing to risk their own lives to save him. David Howarth narrates his incredible escape in this gripping tale of courage and the resilience of the human spirit.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

'A book that I absolutely could not put down . . . and one that I will never forget.'
Stephen Ambrose, author of Band of Brothers

'We Die Alone fills one with humble admiration for the stubborn courage of a man who refused to die under
circumstances that would have killed ninety-nine men out of a hundred.' New York Times
