November
1939.
Stalin
has
signed
a
non-aggression
pact
with
Hitler
and
is
focussing
on
reclaiming
the
former
Grand
Duchy
of
Finland.
Alex
Carlton
is
sent
undercover
as
a
Swedish
newspaper
correspondent to monitor the developing situation and report back to MI2, in London.
As
soviet
bombers
drop
their
bombs
on
Helsinki,
Alex
arrives
in
Finland
and
soon
finds
himself
embroiled
in
the
political
and
military
efforts
of
a
small
Baltic
state
facing
the
might
of
Russia.
He
is
captivated
by
the
sheer
determination
of
the
Finnish
people,
and
the
skill
and
mastery
of
their
military
leaders
as
they
defend
their
country
against
overwhelming
odds,
inflicting
devastating
casualties on the Soviet aggressor.
For
the
105
days
the
war
lasted,
Alex
faces
danger
and
risk,
and
after
it
is
all
over,
he
discovers
that
life is even more complicated when the country is at peace.
