A biography of Jan Baalsrud. Jan was a Norwegian who was a British trained commando in WWII. A group of 10 left the Shetlands and landed in Norway to disrupt the Nazi's who had entrenched themselves. Jan's group was betrayed and he was the only survivor. Through amputating his own toes and suffering the interminable cold, he finally was taken by charitable Sami (Northern Scandinavians), who were fired at, across Finland into Sweden. He found the Norwegians very gracious and they helped him even though to do so put themselves and their families in peril. A great survival against all odds story. 257 pages… (plus d'informations)

A good summary of a pivotal year in English history. Slim book but very informative.

Not a very good title for an excellent book. The title sounds like the gruesome reminder of our earthly end. But, I think it was probably meant to say that "ALONE--we die". As the book is as much about the people who helped Jan, as the man himself. We all need people in this life, and it is never more apparent as when we are in grave trouble. This book will renew your faith in your fellow man. The film, "The 12th Man", which was based on the book, is also excellent.

Of all the naval battles fought in history, Trafalgar is regarded as the most stunning achievement in the annals of history. Nelson’s greatest accomplishment, though it cost him his life, enabled the British fleet to have complete command of the seas. In Howarth’s account focused on the prelude, the battle itself, and the immediate aftermath, aids the reader to see the complications leading up to, during the chaotic swirl of battle, and the aftermath involving a massive hurricane that forced both friend and foe to survive in a joint effort to save their respective lives. History is not always pretty in spite of what seems clear cut is in reality was much more complicated. An excellent read of the battle of Trafalgar.… (plus d'informations)
