À propos de la quatrième de couverture

From the Author of the International Bestseller, The Bookseller of Kabul
On 22 July 2011 Anders Behring Breivik killed 77 of his fellow Norwegians in a terrorist atrocity that shocked the world.
One of Us is the definitive account of the massacres and the subsequent trial. But more than that, it is the compelling story of Anders Breivik and a select group of his victims. As we follow the path to their inevitable collision, it becomes clear just what was lost in that one day.

'Brilliant ... shows how "evil" is not born but created ... A gripping psychological study, beautifully told'
Independent on Sunday

'The narrative unfolds with the dark logic of a serial killer novel ... masterful'
Daily Telegraph

'What emerges as Seierstad pieces together the evidence from police and court transcripts, from survivors, from Breivik's mother, is in part a more literary version of The Day of the Jackal'
The Times

'This is journalism at its very best ... undoubtedly Seierstad's most powerful narrative to date'
Sunday Times
