We Die Alone recounts one of the most exciting escape stories to emerge from the challenges and miseries of World War II. In March 1943; a team of expatriate Norwegian commandos sailed from northern England for Nazi-occupied arctic Norway to organize and supply the Norwegian resistance. But they were betrayed and the Nazis ambushed them. Only one man survived--Jan Baalsrud. This is the incredible and gripping story of his escape.Frostbitten and snowblind; pursued by the Nazis; he dragged himself on until he reached a small arctic village. He was near death; delirious; and a virtual cripple. But the villagers; at mortal risk to themselves; were determined to save him; and--through impossible feats--they did.We Die Alone is an astonishing true story of heroism and endurance. Like Slavomir Rawicz's The Long Walk; it is also an unforgettable portrait of the determination of the human spirit.

It's 2003's "From the Magic Kingdom to the Movies"---only without "the Movies"; and some updated contentBy Winston SmithThis is basically a reprint of 2003's "The Haunted Mansion: From the Magic Kingdom to the Movies"; completely scrubbed of any references to the underwhelming Eddie Murphy film; and with a new chapter on Hong Kong Disneyland's Mystic Manor (informative with lots of illustrations and photos) and a few new spreads on recent additions to the Anaheim and Orlando attractions (the attic bride and hatbox ghost for Disneyland; the new elaborate queue and gift shop at WDW). Even though the film was a letdown; its a shame to completely omit it from this new version--it is part of the attraction's history and produced some interesting design work that is worthy of inclusion. Also; too bad they didn't include a section on Mansion collectibles--a glaring omission from the first edition that they could have corrected here.That said; this is still the tops book for Haunted Mansion fans and there's enough new material here to warrant a repurchase.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.

TOTALLY RECOMENDED FOR EVERY DISNEY PARKS FAN!By Fernand_RoisThis new edition includes the amazing new ride in Hong Kong Disneyland and excludes the part of the HM movie of the first edition. The size of the book is larger and you can see better details of the pictures. The Info about the rides of US; Paris and Tokyo are basically the same as the past editions; and the Glow in the dark effect of the cover is pretty cool.
