Nathaniel
Hong - Danish History
Nathaniel
Hong, a professor at Olympic College in Bremerton, conducted years of research
on the occupation of Denmark by Nazi Germany. His book
Occupied(2012) is a balanced and engaging account on both the resistance and the
adaptation to the Occupation Power. The book does not beautify or condemn but
explains the tension between two main political lines and its importance for
Danish cultural, economic, and social history during the occupation and post
war development. It is highly suited for both the general reader and for
the organized study of Danish history. Hong also wrote
Sparks of
Resistance (1996) and was associate editor of Princeton University Press'
final seven volumes of
Kierkegaard's Writing series.
