The Extreme Danes 1921-1939: A Journey into Denmark's Turbulent Past
About This Deal
The author is crafting a new narrative of Danish history covering the years 1921-1939.

The book introduces a myriad of Danes, including well-known figures like Stauning, Karen Blixen, Frits Clausen, Lise Nørgaard, Mærsk, and Thit Jensen, along with international figures like Churchill, Gandhi, Mao, Ho Chi Minh, Josephine Baker, Freud, Einstein, Ford, and Bonnie & Clyde.
