As an international political science major, EXPLORING NATIONALISM tackles a much-talked about subject in present times. Using history as a lens, the author gives a good introduction to the concept of nationalism and how it has evolved through time. As an academic, this would have been valuable to my own research. For the layman, this is still an approachable book as it lays down the many ways we understand elements of nationalism (language, ethnicity, religion) and how they interplay not just in the building of a nation, but also in going to war both internally and externally.

"This has been another highly readable account by the author. His research includes many sources translated into English for the first time. It is a subject that I have read about previously, yet found much new information included. Highly recommended."

The Norwegian Campaign has been covered in many books and most try to package all the events into just one volume. Geirr Haarr's knowledge on the subject shines throughout. Despite being written in 2009, I would describe this book as an essential read on Norway and a fascinating one at that.
