Jacket poor has pieces missing. pages, illustrated. Publisher: George Allen & Unwin, 1952 fourth impression. A true story from World War Two of espionage in Norway during the German occupation. The author, after a desperate escape from Norway in a small, leaky boat which was blown back by a gale from the coast of Scotland to the coast of Denmark, was trained in Canada and later dropped by parachute over southern Norway. His job was to watch and report the movements of shipping. In the face of persistent attempts by the Germans to find him and his concealed radio, he travelled about by train and by bicycle. He reveals the elaborate organization of the underground resistance movement and his stories of the coolness and courage of the Norwegian resisters of both sexes and of varied classes are tremendously impressive. The adventures and hairbreadth escapes which marked his own encounters with German patrols and the sheer bluff which enabled him to outwit them provide the continuous and breathless excitement of a first-rate thriller, to which is added the interest of a true story told by the protagonist. Includes maps and photographic plates. ALL PHOTOS ARE OF THE ACTUAL BOOK. All books are sent free by courier postage within New Zealand.
