This free book comes courtesy of the Albert Einstein Institution, an organization with the mission of "advancing freedom through nonviolent action." Regardless of whether or not you agree with the pacifist views of the organization or of this book, I think that you will find this book to be an interesting read on a forgotten chapter in the Nazi occupation of Norway.

This book is hard to find. There is only a used paperback copy available at Amazon, and it is $53.99.

Title: Tyranny Could Not Quell Them!: How Norway's Teachers Defeated Quisling During the Nazi Occupation and What It Means for Unarmed Defence Today.
Format(s): PDF.
Author(s): Gene Sharp.
Publisher: Originally, the Publications Committee of Peace News, The International Pacifist Weekly; this reprint is almost certainly by the Albert Einstein Institution.
Pages: 23.
Ebook Rating/Number of Reviews (Amazon): None at Amazon; the book apparently is not listed at GoodReads.
Price: $0.00.
Lowest Price at (or through Amazon) if available from there: $53.99, shipped (Used paperback "Good").
Book Description (from the Introduction):
THE Norwegian teachers' resistance is one of the most widely known incidents of the Nazi occupation of Norway. There is much tender feeling concerning it, not because it shows outstanding heroism or particularly dramatic event§, but because it shows what happens where a section of ordinary citizens, very few of whom aspire to be heroes or pioneers of resistance, are suddenly faced with terrifying situations of a kind which they were never trained to meet.

Those who showed weaknesses will probably never get over it. Those who found unexpected strength in their hearts will perhaps always feel stronger.

The journey to the camp at Kirkenes and the decisions taken before it exemplifies a kind of test that might be put to anyone anywhere in the years to come.

The main lesson seems-to be that people are able to stand up for what they believe and find their own leaders irrespective of how the military situation develops.
Comments: Has 28 illustrations, including original prison camp drawings. I believe this to be a legal free download due to the fact that it is offered as a free resource at the Albert Einstein Institution on this webpage.
