A must read for Norwegians. A terrifying look behind the curtain of Norway's clean and well-honed reputation. There are certain things I definitely knew about from school, but I was surprised and disgusted reading about the extent of the Norwegian government's active participation in so many heinous crimes. It's good to know your country's history, for better or for worse. And this is definitely for the worse. I deducted some from the rating because there were parts of the book that just became unreadable due to the amount of cited source material, I understand that is the appropriate format for such texts, but it completely takes you out of the actual content
