Hunting the Nazi Bomb. The Special Forces Mission to Sabotage Hitler's Deadliest Weapon

Article number 10222221

In the spring of 1940, British and American leaders feared that Nazi Germany was racing towards an atomic bomb. The resulting secret struggle focused on the German nuclear programme, the scientists involved and, above all, the heavy-water plant at Vemork in Norway. Damien Lewis recounts the daring operations GROUSE, FRESHMAN and GUNNERSIDE, in which Norwegian resistance fighters and British special forces attempted to prevent Germany from obtaining the materials needed for nuclear weapons. Drawing on intelligence, including Enigma intercepts, the book follows the espionage, sabotage, deception and extraordinary courage that characterised this largely hidden campaign of the Second World War.
