Noen av oss har snakket sammen personskifter i Arbeiderpartiet under Gerhardsen og Bratteli

This book is praised for its engaging historical analysis, presenting arguments that are clear and well-founded. Reviewers note that it is a very informative read, offering a comprehensive and detailed description of the post-World War II period, particularly focusing on the Labor Party's decision-making processes under Einar Gerhardsen. The work is evidently based on thorough academic research, possibly a master's thesis, which contributes to its depth. Despite its academic tone, some readers found a few entertaining "gems" within the text.

However, a significant criticism is that the book has not been sufficiently adapted from its academic origins into a more accessible book format. Many felt it missed an opportunity to become a good popular science title, primarily due to a lack of context for general readers. It often assumes prior knowledge of specific historical events, which can make it challenging for those not already familiar with the period. The writing style is frequently described as academic, non-entertaining, cumbersome, and at times even a bit unfinished or strange.

In conclusion, while the book offers a deeply researched and informative analysis of a crucial historical period, its academic presentation means it is not aimed at a general audience. It is highly recommended for specialists, academics, and enthusiasts deeply interested in Norwegian political history and decision-making processes, especially those already possessing a solid understanding of the historical context. Readers looking for an easily digestible, popular history book might find its style and lack of broad context less appealing.
