From the internationally acclaimed, best-selling author of Hunting Eichmann and The Perfect Mile, an epic adventure and spy story about the best function of sabotage in all of World Battle II. It's 1942 and the Nazis are race to be the first ever to build a weapon unlike any known before. They have got the physicists, they may have the uranium, and today all their programs be based upon amassing a single ingredient: heavy drinking water, which is produced in Norway's Vemork, the lone plant in all the world which makes this rare compound. Under risk of death, Vemork's engineers push development into overdrive. For the Allies, the plant must be demolished. But how would they reach the castle fortress set on a precipitous gorge in one of the coldest, most inhospitable places on Earth? Based on a trove of top secret documents and never-before-seen diaries and letters of the saboteurs, The Winter Fortress can be an arresting chronicle of an excellent scientist, a group of spies on skies, perilous survival in the wild, sacrifice for one's country, Gestapo manhunts, soul-crushing setbacks, and a last-minute operation that would end any chance Hitler could obtain the atomic bomb - and alter the span of the war.
