Northern Light: Norway Past and Present

Here is a new, challenging appraisal of Norway, the author's country of birth, that redefines its history, culture and heritage - 'after Ibsen' - and looks, with a degree of ominous foreboding, at its future and the future of Europe. Ex-diplomat and widely published author J rgensen explores an array of topics, from Norway's Viking past, its pursuit of independence, the German occupation, its politics and cultural heritage, the defence of NATO, the relationship with Europe, and the challenge of Russia, concluding with 'self-image and reality'. In Northern Light, the author challenges many existing perceptions and stereotypes, making this an essential reference for anyone interested in Norway and its people, international affairs, European history and its cultural legacy.
