During World War II David Howarth ran a spy ring from which both this volume and his previous best-seller - The Shetland Bus - derive. Mr Howarth, who died in 1991, was the author of two dozen major books of history.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

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

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.

'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
