We Die Alone
New York: Macmillan Company, 1955. Book of the Month Club. hardcover. 8vo 231pp. BOMC edition. from front flap: "This amazing true story stands alone in teh annals of World War II as a record of unbelievable hardship, blood-chilling excitement and super-human courage. In the winter of 1943, twelve Norwegian saboteurs sailed for their native land in a fishing boat fitted with hidden armament. Their orders were to destroy the great German airfield near the Arctic Ocean. They had hardly touched shore when the Nazis, alerted by a Quisling, attacked and killed or captured all but one of the party. Jan Baalstrud alone escaped--swimming to a tiny, frozen island, hunted like a beast by fifty of the enemy. His only hope was to reach Sweden--eighty miles away."
