The word 'Quisling' is used all over the world as a synonym for
'traitor' or 'treachery'. The original Vidkun Quisling (1887-1945)
was a gifted Norwegian army officer who earned notoriety when he
sided with the Nazis on the first day of Norway's entry into the
Second World War. Quisling's coup d'etat in Oslo on 9 April 1940
was immediately denounced as an act of arch-treason, and even
Churchill spoke of 'the vile race of Quislings'. Hans Fredrik
Dahl's 1999 biography makes use of a complete range of source
material from Nordic, German, Italian and Russian archives, and of
family archives now in the USA. He traces Quisling's ultimately
futile career from his earlier internationalist career as a
diplomat and businessman to the drama of his trial and execution
for high treason in 1945.
