Review: Exciting and true wartime story - The film is not faithful to the raid that crucially delayed Hitler's quest for the atom bomb. This is the real story, and I have visited the site, where the railway, ferry boat, gorge and zigzag escape track to the plateau are still visible. True heroism.
Review: This is a superb account of one of the most ... - This is a superb account of one of the most dangerous missions of the second world war, written by a man who was there and whose bravery and dedication to ridding his country of the Nazis over an extended period of time is truly breathtaking. I have an uneasy feeling that if it was not for this man and his comrades the world would be a very different place for us today. Well worth reading and re-reading.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exciting and true wartime story
*by G***Y on 16 January 2022*

The film is not faithful to the raid that crucially delayed Hitler's quest for the atom bomb. This is the real story, and I have visited the site, where the railway, ferry boat, gorge and zigzag escape track to the plateau are still visible. True heroism.

*by D***1 on 25 May 2015*

This is a superb account of one of the most dangerous missions of the second world war, written by a man who was there and whose bravery and dedication to ridding his country of the Nazis over an extended period of time is truly breathtaking. I have an uneasy feeling that if it was not for this man and his comrades the world would be a very different place for us today. Well worth reading and re-reading.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our visit to Norway.
*by M***H on 30 July 2017*

Bought this for my husband after we visited Telemark area and the actual place it happened in Norway in May this year. We climbed one of the big mountains just above the town of Rijukan. He has not read it, saving it for holiday in August.
