Publisher's Synopsis
On November 8, 1943, U.S. Army nurse Agnes Jensen stepped out of a cold rain in Catania, Sicily, and boarded a C-53 transport plane. The plane crash-landed in a remote part of Albania, leaving the passengers and crew stranded in Nazi-occupied territory. What followed was a dangerous nine-week game of hide-and-seek with the enemy while Albanian partisans aided the stranded Americans in their search for the British Mission, a branch of British army intelligence. During the following weeks, the group crossed Albania's second highest mountain in a bizzard, were strafed by German planes, and watched help-lessly as an airlift rescue mission was foiled by Nazi forces.
