We Die Alone: A WWII Epic of Escape and Endurance

One of the most enthralling true adventure stories ever written,We Die Alone, set in Nazi-occupied Norway in 1943, is an epic tale of survival against staggering odds.It begins with an ambushed commando raid that leaves all but one of the expatriate resistance fighters dead or captured.
