Reviews

Cato Hemmingby and Tore Bjorgo draw on 220 hours and 1,200 pages of classified interviews with Breivik to provide a rare glimpse into the `terrorist cycle' of attack preparations and logistics. ... intended equally for academics and law enforcement practitioners. (Matthew Feldman, THE, timeshighereducation.com, December, 2015) [This book] is based on a large range of data that would be the envy of any researcher. The authors do this privileged access justice with a phenomenal book that merits re-reading because it is so full of intimate granular level of data . . . But it is not just the data access that makes this piece of work unique. There is a lot for the field of research to learn from in terms of methodological approach. - Paul Gill, Senior Lecturer in Security and Crime Science, University College London, UK
