The author was a member of the Norwegian underground and one of its most active operatives, who was arrested early in the fight and escaped the Nazis in a manner that made the exploits of Tarzan look like hop-scotch. The British, for whose excellent intelligence system Olsen was working, were appreciative and encouraged him to sail for England. which he and two comrades did in a derelict 18-foot sailboat, across the worst North Sea gales in a decade. They were rescued from the Thames estuary by the crew of a British destroyer. After that, he applied for intelligence and parachute training and two years later he was in a Halifax bomber, bound for Norway. There, he organized espionage activities inside occupied Norway, operated at least one radio transmitter to Britain at any given moment, gathered infinitely valuable information on German convoys, troop movements, order of battle, secret weapons and made regular weather reports to guide invasion plans. He and his comrades were constantly on the run, constantly moving their equipment to escape detection, constantly bluffing (or shooting) their way out of traps. They survived for two reasons: first, because they had a real passion for freedom and, secondly, because they possessed a lively sense of humor that invariably helped to outwit their opponents. Mr. Olsen's diary is no literary masterpiece, but it gives a vivid picture of counter- espionage in Norway, and the risks its operatives took on a daily basis until V-E Day. A clean very presentable copy.

"This book provides scholars and students alike with a set of texts that can deepen their understanding of the culture and society of the twelfth-century German kingdom. The sources translated here bring to life the activities of five noblemen and noblewomen from Rome to the Baltic coast and from the Rhine River to the Alpine valleys of Austria. To read these five sources together is to appreciate how interconnected political, military, economic, religious and spiritual interests could be for some of the leading members of medieval German society-and for the authors who wrote about them. Whether fighting for the emperor in Italy, bringing Christianity to pagans in what is today northern Poland, or founding, reforming and governing monastic communities in the heartland of the German kingdom, the subjects of these texts call attention to some of the many ways that noble life shaped the world of central medieval Europe.".
