A History of Norway

A distinguished one-volume history of Norway, from the Vikings through the Resistance of World War II. “Full, objective, and thoroughly readable history, rich in content…. The result is a well-rounded treatment of Norwegian life—political, religious, economic, and intellectual—during the long centuries…. Easily the most important history of Norway in the English language since Gjerset.”—N. Y. Times
