After Adolf Hitler devised plans to turn Denmark into a model protectorate, Winston Churchill predicted that the nation would become the Führer's tame canary. Isolated from the Allies and driven only by a sense of human decency and national pride, the Danes created an extraordinary resistance movement that proved to be an unrelenting thorn in the side of the Nazis. By 1945, they had published twenty-six million issues of illegal newspapers. They set up radio stations for guiding Allied aircraft along the coasts and proved indispensable in penetrating Nazi defenses. Regular boat services connected Sweden, Denmark, and Great Britain. German ships could not leave the ports, and troops were repeatedly hindered by sabotage of railways and air force bases. Most remarkably, about 7,000 Danish Jews were transported to safety in Sweden. They were not trained; they were not soldiers. They were simply ordinary citizens who refused to stand by and watch a crime unfold. The story of their selfless courage and daring should inspire countless future generations. Skyhorse Publishing, along with our Arcade imprint, is proud to publish a wide range of books for readers interested in history – books about World War II, the Third Reich, Hitler and his henchmen, the assassination of JFK, conspiracies, the American Civil War, the American Revolution, gladiators, Vikings, ancient Rome, the Middle Ages, the Old West, and much more. While not every title we publish becomes a bestseller, we are committed to publishing books on topics that are sometimes overlooked and by authors whose works might otherwise not find a home.
