It's 1942 and the Nazis are racing to build an atomic bomb. They
have the physicists, but they don't have enough 'heavy water' -
essential for their nuclear designs. For two years, the Nazis have
occupied Norway, and with it the Vemork hydroelectric plant, the
world's sole supplier of heavy water. Under threat of death, its
engineers push production into overtime. For the Allies, Vemork
must be destroyed. But how could they reach the plant, high in a
mountainous valley? 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.
