Description: "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 Nazis. Crippled by frostbite, snow-blind and hunted by the Nazis, Jan Baalstrud managed to find a tiny arctic village. There delirious, and near death he found villagers willing to risk their own lives to save him."--Back cover.
