Da chefen for Forsvarets Efterretningstjeneste, Lars Findsen, i december 2021 landede i Københavns Lufthavn, blev han anholdt og fængslet for landsskadelig virksomhed. Det var kulminationen på en historisk efterretningsskandale, der går hele vejen til toppen af regeringen, og som også førte til sigtelsen mod tidligere forsvarsminister Claus Hjort Frederiksen. En helt igennem usædvanlig og udansk sag. Men i virkeligheden begyndte den ti år tidligere, længe før Mette Frederiksen blev statsminister.

Det sattes upp en svensk frivilligkår för Norge i början av 1945 när man befarade skoningslösa slutstrider i det tyskockuperade grannlandet. Den svenska regeringens beslut om frivilligkåren var ett av många långtgående neutralitetsbrott till förmån för den allierade sidan i kriget. I Norge opererade också en svensk gerillagrupp med namnet Fritjof. I skuggan av ett hjälteland berättar de frivilligas rafflande historia med ingredienser som avlyssnade telefonsamtal, vådaskott och jakt på förrädare. Den innehåller driftighet och idealitet, men också arrogans och kriminalitet.

Vikingstock is about more than blond hair, blue-eyed Norwegians. It is about more than braided-beards and manbuns. So much of popular culture has turned everything Viking into a trope; from superheroes to TV series but Norse heritage is often shrouded in all of this minutiae. Vikingstock finally breaks through all the misinformation and shows the Norse/Vikings and by extension, the Russian Vikings for what they really were and what they have become.

The Vikings and sainthood are not concepts normally found side by side. But Norway’s King Olaf II Haraldsson (c. 995-1030) embodied both to an extraordinary degree. As a battle-eager teenager he almost single-handedly pulled down London Bridge (as in the nursery rhyme) and took part in many other Viking raids. Olaf lacked none of the traditional Viking qualities of toughness and audacity, yet his routine baptism grew into a burning missionary faith that was all the more remarkable for being combined with his typically Viking determination and energy—and sometimes ruthlessness as well.

In the early morning of 9 April 1940 a fleet of German ships entered the Oslofjord. The Norwegian artillery delayed the German advance long enough for King Haakon VII and his cabinet to escape to England, but there was no stopping the Nazi blitzkrieg. Norway stood on the cusp of a traumatic five-year occupation whose aftershocks would continue to trouble its national consciousness long after the defeated Germans departed in May 1945. In a magnificent feat of storytelling, Robert Ferguson tells the extraordinary – and relatively little-known – story of the occupation and its judicial aftermath.

Between the infamous Lindisfarne raid in 793 CE and the Norman conquest of 1066, the peoples we know now as the Vikings became one of the most far-ranging and influential civilizations in history. The Vikings are frequently portrayed as raiders, marauding across medieval Europe and Britain, but the culture and society of the medieval Nordic peoples was so much more diverse, multifaceted and influential than it is often depicted.

Archaeologists and historians have carefully studied various sources, such as ancient postholes and thousand-year-old grape seeds, in their efforts to uncover the truth about the Viking world.

However, with the help of patience and modern technology, researchers are slowly piecing together the puzzle.

Few military conquests lead to truly lasting cultural, political, religious, or societal change. Countries are often occupied by stronger nations, but as those inevitably decline, independence is reasserted and the country usually resumes its previous form. One exception to that is the Norman Conquest of England which took place between 1066 and 1071.
