Through the crisis

Norwegian title: Gjennom krisa

Raymond JohansenAnders Lundell

The Mayor of Oslo Raymond Johansen stood strong throughout the biggest crisis of modern times and became one of the pandemic’s most significant Norwegian politicians. In this book he tells the story of the most dramatic moment of the pandemic – about leadership during crisis, political conflict and a city which overnight became unrecognisable.

How did the Coronavirus change the Norwegian society? How can we avoid that Norway post-pandemic becomes affected by even bigger differences and distance between people?

Raymond Johansen has written a deeply personal and political book, where he approaches the principled, ethical and human challenges the pandemic has presented us with. He speaks honestly about insecurity, political conflict and how his personal experiences have shaped him as a leader.

Through the Crisis is the story of a recent point in time from someone whose job it was to help shape it.
