We Die Alone: A WWII Epic of Escape and Endurance, (Paperback)

<b>We Die Alone</b> 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. <p>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. </p><p><b>We Die Alone</b> is an astonishing true story of heroism and endurance. Like Slavomir Rawicz's <i>The Long Walk</i>, it is also an unforgettable portrait of the determination of the human spirit.</p>
