About the Book

On July 22, 2011, Anders Behring Breivik detonated a bomb outside government buildings in central Oslo, killing eight people. He then proceeded to a youth camp on the island of Utøya, where he killed 69 more, most of them teenage members of Norway's governing Labour Party. In One of Us, the journalist Åsne Seierstad tells the story of this terrible day and what led up to it. What made Breivik, a gifted child from an affluent neighbourhood in Oslo, become a terrorist? As in her bestseller The Bookseller of Kabul, Seierstad excels at the vivid portraiture of lives under stress. She delves deep into Breivik's troubled childhood, showing how a hip-hop and graffiti aficionado became a right-wing activist and internet-game addict, and then an entrepreneur, Freemason and self-styled master warrior who sought to 'save Norway' from the threat of Islam and multiculturalism. She writes with equal intimacy about Breivik's victims, tracing their political awakenings, aspirations to improve their country and ill-fated journeys to the island. By the time Seierstad reaches Utøya, we know both the killer and those he will kill. We have also gotten to know an entire country – famously peaceful and prosperous, and utterly incapable of protecting its youth.

Review :
'This is journalism at its very best ... Undoubtedly Seierstad's most powerful narrative to date.' 'Scrupulously researched ... [Seierstad] has a remarkable eye for the haunting detail, particularly of empathy, and of grief.' '[A] masterful and forensically detailed account of what may be the first cultural-ideological spree killing in history.'
