They crossed a gorge the enemy believed was impassable, crawled through a cable intake in the dark, and placed explosive charges on equipment that stood between Adolf Hitler and the most destructive weapon ever conceived.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is not a story about armies. It is a story about nine men, a two-minute fuse, and the night they quietly saved the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOperation Gunnerside reveals the full, extraordinary true account of the Allied mission to sabotage Nazi Germany's nuclear program, from Einstein's warning letter to Roosevelt, to the heroic Norwegian saboteurs who survived impossible conditions to strike the one target that mattered most.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFew people know that Germany came closer to an atomic bomb than history is comfortable admitting. Fewer still know the names of the men who stopped it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInside these pages, you will discover the secret science behind heavy water and why one Norwegian factory held the fate of the war, the harrowing months the advance party survived alone on Europe's wildest mountain plateau, the glider disaster that killed brave men and nearly ended the mission before it began, and the final act on a frozen lake where innocent lives were weighed against the survival of millions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is military history at its most human, most urgent, and most unforgettable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerfect for readers of World War II history, untold wartime stories, and the science behind the nuclear race.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe mission lasted one night.
