Alan White

“The action gets hot on the icy fjords” in this gripping novel of two British commandos in World War II Norway (Kirkus Reviews).
 
 Norway, 1943. A land in the grip of Nazi occupation, where men and women still fight for freedom in constant danger from German murder squads and Norwegian traitors.

 It is to find such a traitor that two men are sent from Britain. Their mission is twofold. First, to expose—and kill—the traitor. Second, to carry out a brilliant and daring operation of rescue and sabotage. And you can’t hide when the sun never sets . . .

The WW2 Commando Missions

The Long Midnight

Cut off, surrounded, and desperate, three WWII commandos wait for the chaos to begin in this “fiercely authentic” novel of combat (Sunday Telegraph).
 
 They were three soldiers, on watch in the French countryside, their base a disused barn. Three ordinary men seconded into the horrors of World War II, each with his own ideals, his own feelings, his own fears.
 
 Their task was a nightmare of waiting. German forces were stationed over the brow of a hill, and every moment of every day passed in nerve-shattering anticipation of their first clash. When the clash finally came, it was not merely a battle of force and brutality but a complex and murderous struggle between the cunning and ruthlessness of both sides . . .

 “Extraordinarily powerful . . . at times harrowing but always gripping. Its authenticity and credibility is rooted in the experience of the author, who led a commando unit in Occupied Europe during the Second World War. The story draws on his experiences in an unflinching manner, turning the fields, hills and hedgerows of the front line into the stage for a drama of the most compelling kind.” —Alex Gerlis, author of Prince of Spies

The Long Day's Dying

There’s only one way home: straight through the enemy . . . An action-packed WWII tale filled with “snappy authenticity” (Kirkus Reviews).
 
 Four British commandos parachute into occupied Holland. Their mission: to delay and impede German communications long enough to cover the escape of an Allied unit a few miles away. Soon the countryside is in chaos, and the whole German army is hunting for them.

 And if they miss the rendezvous with the plane sent to extract them, it’s a long way home . . .

 The author of The Long Day’s Dying returns with another tense, gripping story about a daring mission in Nazi-occupied Europe.

 “White’s technical knowledge is authoritative.” —Kirkus Reviews
