The answer became the most dramatic commando raid of the war: the British SOE brought together a brilliant scientist and eleven refugee Norwegian commandos, who, with little more than parachutes, skis and tommy guns, would destroy Hitler's nuclear ambitions. Based on exhaustive research and never-before-seen diaries and letters, The Winter Fortress is a compulsively readable narrative about a group of young men who survived the cold of a Norwegian winter and evaded the clutches of the Gestapo, to save the world from destruction.

Industry Reviews
'Bascomb's research and storytelling skills are first-rate ... a fine work' Wall Street Journal.
'This is a tale of daring beyond belief ... The book has it all: excitement, fear and the knowledge that these brave men really did exist' Soldier Magazine.
'At times The Winter Fortress reads with the pace of a thriller ... what emerges most strongly is the admiration for the valour of the ordinary soldiers' The Spectator.
