James Lawrence Chaworth-Musters is a name well known to Norwegians, but it holds no recognition in the UK. Stephen Crompton paints a fascinating picture of an English gentleman with a love for Norway, a man who was a dedicated naturalist… and a special operations agent who played a large part in organising key raids and actions during the battle against the Nazis. Daring escapes, capturing Enigma machines, sabotaging key installations, the race for ‘heavy water’, and a love of knitting – this book has them all.
