Hernámsæskan: Áhrif seinni heimsstyrjaldar á íslenskt æskufólk

It could be said that the occupation is one of the most significant periods in the history of the nation. But how did Icelanders experience the war years, and what were their relations with the military? By looking at these fateful years from the perspective of young people, we can gain a picture of a time of profound change. The arrival of the military brought weapons and jobs, but it also brought cultural influences that had a major impact on Icelandic youth.

Traditional rural Icelandic ways of life were increasingly overshadowed by flashy clothing, swinging jazz tunes, Coca-Cola, and a more fashionable, swaggering manner. All of this comes together here in vivid and colorful accounts that no one interested in Icelandic history will want to miss.
