Who is Anders Breivik? What prompted him to do so? Why he chose these particular targets? How is it prepared to act? This book answers all these questions with astonishing precision.
Laurent Obertone peeled 1500 pages manifesto Breivik, police the reports, testimonies of survivors and psychiatrists to deliver this inspiring report, and to identify in every corner personality of Anders Breivik and his journey to the act.
If the first quarter of the book recounts the killing of Utoya almost to the second, the rest is devoted to Breivik's life, his youth without history, its radicalization, his theses on safeguarding the European race, multiculturalism , society and justice, his willingness to "change things". We discover how this mysterious man, the IQ 135, without enemies, not really lonely, initiated into Freemasonry fan of video games, with no admiration for the killers and murderers, part of a Templar Order real, may have committed "the act by which the XXI Century really began."
More political consideration here. Interspersed with testimonies from survivors, police and psychiatrists, the book delivers an uncompromising analysis of the contemporary world, the human race and its evolution through the eyes of a man that he was prepared to sacrifice for his cause . SA cause ...
So that over the story, the theses of this man crazy was believed to bind eventually make sense, even making the journey of his act ... consistent! In the end, the reader will eventually experience even for him ... some form of sympathy, as incredible as it may seem.
You'll understand that radical change of style for Laurent Obertone, the author of the controversial (but no less courageous) "France Clockwork Orange", which dealt with the normalization of violence in France. The journalist slips here into the skin of the killer, to deliver a first-person narrative of a remarkable precision, which does not leave unmoved. A shock work, perhaps not to put all hands, which irremediably called to reflect on the appropriateness of certain policy actions. Do we really want our future to look in the face? And if Europe had thousands Breivik ready to take action? Do we really have the means to continuously avoid violence? These questions resonate well of the readers.
However this work is not blameless. We regret the fact that the part of the trial Breivik is almost entirely forgotten, as this passage seemed as interesting, if not more, than the rest of the journey.
Similarly, the narrative is in first person, no access to the author's references. One can not know to what extent the ideas and thoughts of Breivik are faithfully transcribed. The self-righteous enemies Laurent Obertone are sure to get noticed and surely accuse of using the character Breivik to convey his own ideas.
But I recommend this book without retained, if you too are looking to uncover why and how the mysterious killing of Utoya.
