My latest book “Nikkel, jern og blod” by Alf R. Jacobsen. Yet again about WW2 in the northern part of Norway, this time focused on the former Petsamo, now Pechengsky district http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pechenga_District and the battle for the enormous nickel resources hidden there. Until now I had no idea how important those resources was for the Nazis during WW2. The book has also enlightened me on the role of Finland during WW2, why they formed an alliance with Germany to get protection from Stalin and such.
