DEFIANT COURAGE PA

"I remember reading We Die Alone in 1970 and I could never forget it. Then, when we went to Norway to do a docudrama, people told us again and again that certain parts were pure fiction. Since I was a Norwegian, that was not good enough; I had to find the truth. I sincerely believe we did," writes author Astrid Karlsen Scott of her and co-author Dr. Tore Haug's Defiant Courage, the complete and astounding story of Jan Baalsrud and the people who helped him escape from the Gestapo.

Astrid Karlsen Scott, a native of Norway, is president of Nordic Adventures, a company dedicated to the promotion of Norwegian culture. Dr. Tore Haug is the second cousin of Jan Baalsrud and a specialized general practitioner with a private practice in Norway.
