The Winter Fortress: The Epic Mission to Sabotage Hitler’s Atomic Bomb

If you want to be transported to a life and death struggle on the snowy, unforgiving Vidda with a ragtag band of Norwegian resistance members as they try to stop Nazi production of a crucial element for the making of The Bomb then this is a read for you. Neal Bascomb keeps this nonfiction story moving with all of the action of a great thriller. WW2 Reads highly recommends this epic tale.

After you have read The Winter Fortress, check out The Heavy Water War on Netflix that tells the same story and has many of the same characters as Bascomb’s book. It makes for an excellent supplement to the The Winter Fortress.
