Defiant Courage recalls the incredible story of Jan Baalsrud, the sole survivor of a Norwegian saboteur squad, working against Germany during World War II. However, unlike previous publications such as
We Die Alone,
Defiant Courage consists of nothing but truth.
After his men were betrayed, Jan’s only way to survive was to escape alone, through the most extreme of weather conditions, whilst making sure to avoid the Gestapo. Through the help of many who took great risks to aid him, Jan's journey is guaranteed to keep you reading for 340 pages.
Not only does the book contain a gripping recollection of the events in 1943, there are many objects placed within the text, such as black and white pictures, and letters and reports from the time. There is also a collection of maps allowing the reader to track Jan Baalsrud’s enduring journey to safety.
