By 1942 Germany had a seemingly insurmountable lead over the Allies in developing an atomic bomb. Contributing to this situation was its access to a crucial ingredient: “heavy water,” found in great abundance at a fortresslike factory in occupied Norway. Allied hopes of stalling the Nazi nuclear program soon focused on sabotaging the cliffside plant—a suicidal mission. But a team of brave Norwegian exiles, trained in Britain, infiltrated their homeland and, hiding in the wilds, awaited the opportunity to launch one of the war's most daring commando raids. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBasing his gripping narrative in large part on interviews with the commandos themselves, Thomas Gallagher recounts in vivid detail the planning and execution of Operation Gunnerside. \u003ci\u003eAssault in Norway\u003c\/i\u003e recalls the intrigue found in such wartime classics as David Howarth's \u003ci\u003eWe Die Alone\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Sledge Patrol\u003c\/i\u003e, and the mission it recounts inspired the 1965 Hollywood film \u003ci\u003eThe Heroes of Telemark\u003c\/i\u003e.","brand":"Lyons Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42966962045183,"sku":"9781599219127","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781599219127_s600x595.jpg?v=1776094769","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781599219127","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
