About the 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. The Churchill Club committed hundreds of acts of sabotage, ranging from weapon theft, arson, bombings, and even an attempted assault of a German Camp. Eventually, they were caught and arrested, but their efforts weren't in vain, as their actions sparked a full-blown Danish resistance. This book was written through a combination of historical records, and first-person accounts from Knud Pedersen himself
