1996 Brev från nollpunkten
 
Brev från nollpunkten ("Letters from Ground Zero") is a collection of essays that examines some of the darkest episodes of the 20th century. The essays cover the First World War, which is regarded as the start of that century and its primeval disaster, the Second World War, that proved to be equally catastrophic and destructive, plus experiences of totalitarianism in its Stalinist and Nazi forms. Here among other things you can read how Hitler and Stalin vied with each other to erect the world’s largest building, about the Holocaust and how one member of the SS tried to stop it. Letters from Ground Zero was short-listed for Swedens most prestigeous iterary award, The August Prize in 1996.
