Defiant Courage by Astrid Karlsen Scott
In late March 1943, in the midst of WWII, four Norweigan saboteurs arrived in northern Norway on a fishing cutter and set anchor in Troftefjord to establish a base for their operations. This title tells the true story of what Jan Baalsrud endured as he tried to escape from the Gestapo in Norway's Troms District.
