Glimt af Himlen – og Helvedets baggård

“Glimpses of Heaven – and Hell’s Backyard” is a personal account of the tumultuous 1990s. From the Scandinavian Star ferry disaster to Afghanistan, from the camps near Rwanda to an isolated North Korea on the brink of famine. It was a decade in which, even amid the joy of the defeat of world communism, one could also glimpse the roots of many of the rapidly escalating challenges we are grappling with today.

During the 1990s, Lasse Nørgaard worked both as a freelance correspondent for Danish newspapers and as a field delegate for the International Red Cross. The book is filled with personal accounts, written with a blend of warmth, horror, facts and humour, while also offering historical background, reflections and perspectives.

“Glimt af Himlen – og Helvedets baggård” – er en personlig beretning om de tumultariske 1990ere. Fra Scandinavian Star til Afghanistan, fra lejrene nær Rwanda til et isoleret Nordkorea på kanten af en sultkatastrofe. Et årti, hvor man midt i glæden over verdenskommunismens nederlag også kunne skimte rødderne til mange af de vildtvoksende udfordringer, vi slås med i dag.

I 1990’erne arbejdede Lasse Nørgaard dels som freelancekorrespondent for danske dagblade, og dels som udsendt delegat for Internationalt Røde Kors. Bogen er fyldt med personlige beretninger, der er skrevet med en blanding af varme, gru, fakta og humor, men den indeholder samtidig historisk baggrund, refleksioner og perspektiver.
