One of Us

Asne Seierstad reconstructs Anders Breivik's meticulous preparation for the July 2011 Oslo bombing and the massacre of sixty-nine people, mostly young political activists, at Utoya island camp. Tracing his years of radicalisation and the survivors' traumatic ordeal with equal care, the book confronts far-right terrorism and examines how a peaceful, open society responds to ideological atrocity.
