...person Strombotne (his paternal grandparents were Norwegian) is mild enough, a considerate father (two small children) who starts each day with the sports section. But on canvas he becomes something else. He describes himself as "angry or outraged, either word will do," and, like most angry young men, shoots his outrage off in all directions. His hero is the persecuted individual, his villain the persecuting mass; he senses "instances of inhumanity all around me."

When the Nazis invaded Norway in 1940, Brandt put on a Norwegian uniform-at the insistence of friends who were trying to keep him from being grabbed by the Gestapo and shot. He returned to Germany in 1945 as a Norwegian correspondent, with Norwegian citizenship and a Norwegian wife. But the citizenship was not entirely by choice: his German citizenship had been...
