Written by and mostly for those who appreciate a clear legal approach, this summarizes the case against Knut Hamsun and evaluates the central claims that were key to the guilty verdict reached against him, especially on whether or not Hamsun was indeed a member of NS in wartime.

The book argues that Hamsun's activities were without a doubt treasonous and he could have been prosecuted under any number of criminal treason charges, but the charges and ruling against him in civil proceedings based on his NS membership were flawed, and the medical ruling of his weakened intellect is dubious.
