About This Book
Knud Pedersen was fifteen years old when Denmark surrendered to German occupation. Disgusted by the failure of his nation's leaders, Knud swore to take action against the Nazi occupiers and formed a rebel cell made up of his brother and schoolmates. They named themselves The Churchill Club, after the fiery British leader.
