Overview Olav V - Krigeren 1940-1945

The Warrior deals with the 1940-45 period. After struggling to find his feet as the crown prince, Olav finds a role at last. The second volume in the great story of Olav V offers an intimate portrait of the crown prince at war, and the vital contribution he made to Norway’s wartime history. During these years, Olav will have a chance to put himself to the test and make himself useful in totally new ways. Without an understanding of the war and his role in it, it is impossible to grasp King Olav V of Norway – who he was and who he became.

The tale of the wartime years of the Norwegian crown prince’s family takes in everyday life, military and political work, love, loss, illness and shopping, and even a touch of humour.

Reviews Olav V - Krigeren 1940-1945

Biografi i særklasse

 
Arne Dvergsdal, Dagbladet

Årets bind er i sin helhet viet krigsårene, noe som godt lar seg forsvare. Det var jo fem år preget av stor ytre dramatikk, og en periode som skulle bli definerende for Olavs identitet så lenge han levde.

Sindre Hovdenakk, VG

Tore Rem er fortsatt langt mindre ærbødig enn tidligere kongebiografer. (…) På den måten kommer vi faktisk nærmere de kongeliges menneskelige sider enn i tidligere framstillinger.

Erling Rimehaug, Vårt Land

Når krigen kommer øker temperaturen, konfliktnivået og dermed også spenningen i Tore Rems grundige kongebiografi.

Knut Hoem, NRK

Biografien griper (…) tv-serien Atlantic Crossing temmelig hardt i skjortekragen, dog helt uten å nevne den.

Bernhard Ellefsen, Morgenbladet
