...better traitor than terrorist, Major Vidkun Quisling has been a four-star flop as Nazi Gauleiter of the country he betrayed. Tough-fibred Norwegians, though defeated, have refused to be conquered. The Norsemen's passive resistance has included sabotage of power plants, attacks on individual Nazis, stealing any Nazi weapons left unguarded. Secret anti-Nazi organizations have flourished and have smuggled in money from sympathetic Sweden, arms from Britain...

They had celebrated the centenary of the Great Trek hysterically for a whole year, touring the backveld from town to town in ox wagons. Anyone who didn't grow a voortreker (pioneer) beard was an "outlander" or a traitor. A synagogue was dynamited, and George VI's message to the final jamboree was read in Afrikaans.

...respect for cold facts. His tirelessness in tracking down historical obscurities (he is probably the world's No. 1 literary detective), his fearlessness in publishing what he finds, have resulted in some shocking reversals of U. S. cultural myths. In two of his books, Roberts has heroized Traitor Benedict Arnold. This week the same qualities resulted in another first-class historical shocker. Oliver Wiswell is a sustained and uncompromising report of the American Revolution from the Tory viewpoint. It will start Union Now advocates turning handsprings, may well set the D. A. R. to plaiting nooses...
