The dazzling tale of one brave man's defiant answer to tyranny, who became the legendary 'No. 24'
When Hitler's invasion shattered Norway's peace of one hundred years, Gunnar Sonsteby, a timid youth, was destined to become the legendary 'No. 24' whose exploits earned the highest honours Norway could bestow when it was restored after World War II.
Report From #24 is Stonsteby's own account of his underground activities during the Nazi occupation. He was a master saboteur and raider, leader of the Oslo Gang and chief of operations in the Norwegian Resistance Movement.
It is a dazzling tale of one man's defiant answer to tyranny and the story of valiant men and women whose ranks extended from a bakery in Oslo to a peasant's hut on the Swedish border.
