We Die Alone
David Howarth
Andy McNab
In March 1943 a team of expatriate Norwegian commandos sailed from the Shetland Islands for Nazi-occupied Norway. Their mission was to organise and support the Norwegian resistance. They were betrayed. And only one man survived a terrifying ambush by Nazi soldiers. This is the incredible and gripping story of his escape. Crippled by frostbite and snow-blind, hunted by the Germans, Jan Baalsrud, the sole survivor, managed to find a tiny Arctic village. There, delirious and close to death, he found villagers willing to risk their lives to save him. We Die Alone is his incredible story – an incomparable epic of survival in the most hostile conditions.
David Howarth
During World War Two, David Howarth ran a spy ring from which both this volume and his previous bestseller – The Shetland Bus – derive. A renowned and respected historian, who wrote over two dozen books, Howarth died in 1991.
