The Surprisingly Normal Upbringing of Norway's Mass Murderer

Norwegian journalist Åsne Seierstad discusses the massacre that upended Norway, and the trial that helped put the country back together. On July 22, 2011, Anders Behring Breivik detonated a bomb outside the Norwegian prime minister's office in central Oslo, killing eight people. He then proceeded to a youth camp on the wooded island of Utøya, where he killed sixty-nine more, most of them teenage members of the country's governing Labour Party. In One of Us: The Story of Anders Breivik and the Massacre in Norway, Seierstad tells the story of this terrible day and its reverberations.
