Britain and Norway in the second World War

This book is based on the conference at St Anthony's College in Oxford (25-27th September 1991) organised by the British Committee for the History of the Second World War, and features contributions from British and Norwegian historians and veterans. Its essays and accounts are split into five sections. Part One deals with Norwegian neutrality from September 1939 - April 1940, and the initially cool relations between Norway and Britain during the first months of the war - with many Norwegians thinking Britain was a greater threat to Norway's neutrality than Germany. Part Two deals with the later Anglo-Norwegian alliance, and the governments' differing perspectives and priorities; for instance, H P Willmott and Einar Grannes's opposing papers on Operation Jupiter. Part Three focuses on intelligence and the Norwegian resistance, including disputes between the Norwegian underground army and the SOE. Part Four is devoted to special operations, and Part Five focuses on Norway's liberation and its aftermath, including British and Norwegian perspectives on preparing for the emancipation.
