Description
The Shetland Bus: A WWII Epic Of Courage, Endurance, and Survival In the midst of World War II, a small but crucial operation took place, with hundreds of crossings of small boats from the Shetland Islands to German-occupied Norway. The mission was to supply arms to the Resistors and rescue refugees, all under constant threat from German U-boats and winter storms. This book tells the story of that operation, recounting the bravery and resilience of those involved. From the author of We Die Alone, The Shetland Bus is a gripping account of one of the most remarkable episodes of the war. With its focus on the human experience and the extraordinary circumstances of the time, this book offers a unique perspective on a pivotal moment in history.
