- Synopsis
- Left Jacket: "David Howarth's book opens as the small fishing boat containing Jan Baalsrud and the three other members of his sabotage group closes with the Norwegian coast. From that moment everything goes wrong. The plan is betrayed by a Quisling. A German warship appears in the fjord where they are hidden, and all but Jan are killed or taken prisoner. Alone, wounded, wet to the skin and woefully ill-equipped to withstand the rigours of the Arctic blizzards, Baalsrud fights to retain his freedom. As the pace quickens and the fugitive grows weary and progressively unable to cope with his surroundings, the writing takes on an urgency that makes the reader turn the pages with tense excitement. From now on Jan is hidden by a succession of heroic men and women who risk their lives and the lives of their families to help him get away. This is indeed a story of quiet heroism, of the triumph of human courage, fortitude and charity over the forces of oppression."
