Staff Reviews
The Shetland buss tells the firsthand account of a British-Norwegian spy ring during WWII. The writing is exceptionally sensitive and knowledgeable. If you like remote places, espionage, seafaring or niche history, this is the book for you! This is my single favorite history book; I can't recommend it enough!
— From NadiaDescription
From the author of We Die Alone, The Shetland Bus recounts the hundreds of crossings of small boats from the Shetland Islands to German-occupied Norway to supply arms to the Resistors and to rescue refugees-all under constant threat by German U-boats and winter storms.
