One of the most astonishing and enthralling true adventure stories ever written, We Die Alone is set in Nazi-occupied Norway in 1943, and, despite its title, it is an epic tale of survival against staggering odds. It begins with an ambushed commando raid which leaves all but one of the expatriate resistance fighters dead or captured. Though he too has been shot, that one survivor, Jan Baalsrud, takes off on a courageous, incredible trek into the wilds of the Lyngen Alps. The Nazis pursue him relentlessly; he suffers frostbite and snow blindness, a terrible fall in an avalanche; at last, delirious and near death he chances on a cabin where the first of a series of remarkably brave and clever men and women come to his aid. These "ordinary heroes" will eventually get the crippled Baalsrud to safety and freedom, and the amazing story of how they do it—and of how Baalsrud lives through impossible conditions—can't but fill readers with admiration and wonder at what the human spirit is capable of. Most highly recommended indeed.
