Just finished reading the above, a detailed account of the attacks on the Norsk Hydro factory at Vemork, Norway, producing heavy water for atomic developments in Germany. You may remember the 1965 Heroes of Telemark movie about the same subject, and there was a more recent TV series about the subject, too.
Highly recommended: Neal Bascombe has done a fantastic job of drawing all the threads together, and writing a gripping account of all the operations against the plant and its product. I'd read an earlier work of his (
Hunting Eichmann) so had a good idea that this new book would be well researched and written, and I was not disappointed.
