The book is so extensively referenced via various histories, and primary sources. At the back is an excellent glossary of terms, useful for both the novice and someone more adept with military terms. Alongside this is a timeline which brings out the whole story of via a chronology leading up to war. Overall this is a must have, fantastic account of the invasion of Norway, taking in comprehensive relevant angles.

[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars I truly haven't a clue for how long it's been since I read a book this fast! Let's just say that it's been one heck of a long time! Did I enjoy this? Did I ever! Who doesn't love the outlaws? Truthfully, I'm disgusted with them! Such a lawless time. I'm happy to say that most died as they lived..violently! I even love the "dead outlaw" photo's! I do have a soft spot for Butch and Sundance. I'm sure the movie has swayed me! BUT, Butch did have a sense of humor, and I still can't help but believe, even after reading this book, that they were just lazy, wayward souls. Most others? they were just as vicious as we all thought! What is surprising is how many of these men had families. The story of that Indian Ned? It must have been too easy back then to railroad an innocent. Back then, though? It took nerves of steel or some type of insanity to want to be law! And, yes! I once thought I'd have been a Marshall back then! Hey! Matt Dillon roont me! It actually boggles.. Read more
