We Die Alone

by David Howarth

  • EXPLORATION
  • 2007
  • PAPER
  • 208 PAGES

A 1955 account by British historian David Howarth of courage, determination and valor in Nazi-occupied Norway. It's the story of Jan Baalrud -- and his extraordinary escape across the Lyngen Alps, as reconstructed from interviews with Baalrud and the brave people who helped him escape. Stumbling half-dead into an Arctic village, he is nursed back to health by the local people and, finally, makes his way to neutral Sweden.  (NOR14, $16.95)
