Details the mission of young Norwegian commandos to destroy Vemork, an industrial fortress that was occupied by German troops during World War II through which they gained access to an essential ingredient for the weapon that could end the war: Hitler's very own nuclear bomb. Armed with little more than skis, explosives, and great courage, the commandos will survive months in the snowy wilderness, elude a huge manhunt, and execute two dangerous missions. The result? The greatest act of sabotage in all of World War II.
