Product Description
Synopsis
During World War II, the "Shetland Bus" would go across the North Sea to occupied Norway, to take supplies and saboteurs into the fjords under the noses of the Germans, and to take refugees to safety on the return journey. This is the story of those secret wartime missions.

5.0 out of 5 stars A tale of courage in WW2 on the North Sea, and its true!, 30 Jan 1999
By A Customer
You won't find any buses within the pages of this splendid book. This book relates the little known story of the brave British and Norwegian men who operated what we would today call a "shuttle service" between Nazi-occupied Norway and the Shetland Isles, 200 miles apart across the treacherous North Sea. Even if you're not into war-related fiction/non-fiction, I would recommend this book for a good read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Utterly gripping, 10 Jun 2007
An utterly gripping and fantastically well written account of the unconventional British Navy and Norwegian operations through the dark, storm lashed winters in Shetland. Howarth vividly evokes Shetland - you can almost feel the rain on your face. This book is a fitting remembrance to the courage of the men who risked all; in Shetland people remember them very well. It describes how closely Norway worked with Britain and how a special relationship developed betweenour two countries. Every year Norway sends 2 christmas trees to the UK, one intended for Trafalgar Square in London, and the other to Shetland.
