THE BOOK
A Warrior for Peace
Captured by the Nazis. Driven to serve peace.
Bjørn Egge survived Hitler's notorious Night and Fog system, Sonnenburg and Sachsenhausen. But survival was only the beginning.
He returned from the camps to become a Norwegian military officer, intelligence officer, UN peacekeeper in the Congo, military attaché in Moscow during the Cold War, Commandant of Akershus Fortress and President of the Norwegian Red Cross.
Told in his own voice, A Warrior for Peace is the extraordinary true story of a man who experienced tyranny at its worst – and spent the rest of his life trying to prevent it from happening again.
