  A very interesting and exciting historical book that is well written and engrossing from the beginning. Amazing achievement by a group of amazing people, without whose efforts the outcome of World War 2 might have been very different.

  As with everything else written or presented by Mr Mears, this is both informative and interesting. Mears delves into all aspects of this daring operation with a depth of knowledge and understanding that most historians and authors could never achieve. Indeed, Mr Mears recreated the survival aspects of the operation for himself. This allows him to speak with authority on the subject, which enables him to effectively convey the desperate conditions the Norwegian team lived under for so many months. A very effective book.

  The story is about a group of incredibly brave people, dedicated to carrying out an almost impossible mission. Excellent well written book. A very gripping story...very moving. The delivery was as on time as planned. First class all round.

  Always loved this amazing tale of extreme endurance, Ray has painstakingly researched the true story not the glossy Hollywood version that barely touches on the extreme story of winter survival.

  I first read a library copy of Ray's The Real Heroes of Telemark book in the noughties after watching his TV documentary of the same name. The movie with Kirk Douglas was on at Easter, which made me think I would like to have my own copy of the book. I was delighted to find that I could buy the book directly from the Woodlore website and that the copy would be signed by Ray himself. I was also pleased to find that I was not charged any postage fees and the book arrived very promptly and of course signed. The book is a cracking read and gives an engaging and well written account of the spectacular bravery of the Norwegian men who helped change the course of history. It is also very clear that destiny played her hand in how the events unfolded from the moment that one of the Norwegian men captured a Nazi boat and sailed it to England. Thank you to them all and thank you to Ray for documenting it.

  I'm a patriot; I love history and bushcraft. This books covers all those subjects. Ray Mears has integrity and this shows in his programmes and books. This book tells the true story of Telemark. Remarkable feats of bravery and bushcraft that came together when the world needed them.
