"What rewards are to be given to these heroic men?" Winston S Churchill, on the Norway nuclear raiders
'Suicidal bravery, untold moral courage and awe-inspiring survival. An utterly compelling read' Bear Grylls
The riveting story of how Churchill's secret warriors waged a brutal war in the shadows, to stop Hitler from building an atom bomb. Intent on showering London and Washington with radiological warheads, had Hitler won the race for nuclear supremacy he would have won the world.
Written with Lewis's signature dramatic verve, Hunting Hitler's Nukes is peopled by a cast more extraordinary than any fiction: former Scoutmaster and leopard-hunter John Skinner Wilson, the grizzled grandmaster of clandestine operations; Agents Cheese and Biscuit, the SOE's most brazen operators who repeatedly cheated death; Odd Starheim, the flame-haired Norwegian Viking who specialized in hijacking enemy warships.
Still celebrated by the cream of the world's militaries today, these operations are a founding part of British elite forces legend. Their story constitutes a searing and dramatic rollercoaster read, made all the more extraordinary in that it is entirely true.
