Valhalla Press announces the coming publication of In the Shadow of Quisling: Norway Grapples with its WWII Ghosts

In the Shadow of Quisling: Norway Grapples with its WWII Ghosts, explores the Nordic Myth of superiority and its surprising persistence in the face of reality.

Today, Northern Europe looks dramatically different than it did before World War II. There’s a sizeable population of non-Nordic immigrants. Turks, Pakistanis, Indians, Vietnamese and Africans live and work in countries that two or three generations ago were largely Caucasian.

The shocking slaughter of teens on an island in the Oslo Fjord brought the tension under the surface bubbling up. Here was an “ethnic Norwegian” taking revenge on the perceived sins of the government and modern society for allowing an alleged ‘invasion’ of Muslims into Europe.

In the Shadow of Quisling is the second book in our Current Political Thought series and is scheduled for publication in February 2012.
