The story of the Shetland Bus is a story of heroics and daring.

The establishment of a sea route to smuggle people and materiel to Norway from the Shetland Islands was a major accomplishment and lead to the successful fight to free Norway and to weaken the German war machine.

Two books, told from different perspectives.

The first book, translated from the Norwegian, tells the story of Leif Larsen, or Shetlands Larsen, one of the most highly decorated officers, with decorations from Britain and Norway. It is called None but the Brave.

The second book tells the same story from the British command point of view. It is called The Shetland Bus.
