The author was a member of the Norwegian underground and one of its most active operatives, who was arrested early in the fight and escaped the Nazis in a manner that made the exploits of Tarzan look like hop-scotch. The British, for whose excellent intelligence system Olsen was working, were appreciative and encouraged him to sail for England. which he and two comrades did in a derelict 18-foot sailboat, across the worst North Sea gales in a decade. They were rescued from the Thames estuary by the crew of a British destroyer. After that, he applied for intelligence and parachute training and two years later he was in a Halifax bomber, bound for Norway. There, he organized espionage activities inside occupied Norway, operated at least one radio transmitter to Britain at any given moment, gathered infinitely valuable information on German convoys, troop movements, order of battle, secret weapons and made regular weather reports to guide invasion plans. He and his comrades were constantly on the run, constantly moving their equipment to escape detection, constantly bluffing (or shooting) their way out of traps. They survived for two reasons: first, because they had a real passion for freedom and, secondly, because they possessed a lively sense of humor that invariably helped to outwit their opponents. Mr. Olsen's diary is no literary masterpiece, but it gives a vivid picture of counter- espionage in Norway, and the risks its operatives took on a daily basis until V-E Day. A clean very presentable copy.

Jacket poor has pieces missing. pages, illustrated. Publisher: George Allen & Unwin, 1952 fourth impression. A true story from World War Two of espionage in Norway during the German occupation. The author, after a desperate escape from Norway in a small, leaky boat which was blown back by a gale from the coast of Scotland to the coast of Denmark, was trained in Canada and later dropped by parachute over southern Norway. His job was to watch and report the movements of shipping. In the face of persistent attempts by the Germans to find him and his concealed radio, he travelled about by train and by bicycle. He reveals the elaborate organization of the underground resistance movement and his stories of the coolness and courage of the Norwegian resisters of both sexes and of varied classes are tremendously impressive. The adventures and hairbreadth escapes which marked his own encounters with German patrols and the sheer bluff which enabled him to outwit them provide the continuous and breathless excitement of a first-rate thriller, to which is added the interest of a true story told by the protagonist. Includes maps and photographic plates. ALL PHOTOS ARE OF THE ACTUAL BOOK. All books are sent free by courier postage within New Zealand.
