- Biography, HISTORY / Military / World War II
Norwegian photojournalist Trygve Sørvaag has met with and portrayed people and places on both sides of the North Sea, now sixty years after the war. His book about the secret traffic between Norway and Great Britain during the Second World War is not merely another book about the war, but it offers a vivid rendering of two costal communities sixty years on.
In this unique blend of photography and history we encounter two coastal peoples divided by war, yet joined by the sea. Shetland Bus - faces and places 60 years on is a comprehensive documentary of the people of Norway and Great Britain and the special connection they share. In its pages you are taken on a journey along the Norwegian coast, and from Shetland to London on the other side of the sea. The result is a moving depiction of two coastal communities and a new perspective on our wartime history. Foreword by Norwegian Prime Minister Kjell Magne Bondevik.
In this beautifully laid out coffee table book you can walk in the footsteps of the wartime traffic across the North Sea. You can see the narrow mountain shelf in Norway that was dubbed the England quay, the beach were the refugees landed in Shetland, the places they encountered in London and the hideouts were the secret agents stayed when they went back to sabotage.
Trygve Sørvaag is the author of Shetland Bus - faces and places 60 years on. He is a Norwegian journalist and photojournalist based in London.
