The outcome of World War II could be very possibly have been much different if Knut Haukelid and his small, but courageous band of Norwegian soldiers hd not been successful in sabotaging the Nazi’s supply of “heavy water.” This “heavy water” produced at a facility in occupied Norway was vital to Hitler’s race with the United States to develop the atomic bomb. This exciting story presents an intimate account of the valiant and self-sacrificing services that these Norwegians performed for the whole free world.

What is the future of social democracy in the age of globalization? The Swedish model, long the paradigm for socially responsible capitalism, was pronounced dead in the 1990s, but a new Swedish model has emerged and is thriving. Europeanization and globalization and expected to erode social democracy, placing limits on the power of organized labor to negotiate with capital. Here Dimitris Tsarouhas shows why and how this did not happen. Tracing the emergence of the original model to its institutional and political origins, he garners rich empirical evidence to show the resilience of the fundamental nature of Swedish social democracy in the face of changing policies, institutions and labor relations. This book is an important reassessment of European social democracy and the impact of globalization.
