Book
The winter fortress : the epic mission to sabotage Hitler's superbomb / Neal Bascomb.
It's 1942 and the Nazis are racing to build an atomic bomb. For two years, the Nazis have occupied Norway, and with it the Vemork hydroelectric plant, the world's sole supplier of heavy water. Based on exhaustive research and never-before-seen diaries and letters of the saboteurs, this is a compulsively readable narrative about a group of young men who endured soul-crushing setbacks and Gestapo hunts and survived in one of the coldest, most inhospitable places on earth to save the world from destruction.
