Summary:

"The Norwegian 'treason trials' were the most extensive post-war 'reckoning' with wartime collaboration in all of Europe. This study examines how the Norwegian authorities envisaged, implemented and interpreted these trials, from the first planning efforts of the early 1940s to the debates over their legacies during the 1960s"-- Provided by publisher
