Why people recommend it
One of Us: The Story of Anders Breivik and the Massacre in Norway by Åsne Seierstad is a meticulous and harrowing journalistic account of the 2011 terrorist attacks in Norway and the radicalization of the perpetrator. Gilbert Cruz and Pamela Paul introduced a comprehensive cover review of the book on The Book Review podcast, joined by guest critic Eric Schlosser. During the episode, Schlosser discussed the central dilemma addressed in the work, noting that Seierstad deliberately leaves open the question of whether the attacker was a deranged lunatic or a calculated political terrorist. Schlosser praised this authorial restraint as a wise choice that successfully encourages readers to grapple with the complex legal, moral, and societal implications of the tragedy independently. Pamela Paul further highlighted the investigative depth of the narrative before concluding the literary segment. Reviewers and podcast hosts frequently point to the book as an essential, deeply sobering piece of investigative non-fiction that avoids simplistic answers in favor of a thorough, haunting examination of modern extremism.
