About
A 1,518-page manifesto self-published by Norwegian far-right extremist Anders Behring Breivik under the pseudonym Andrew Berwick, outlining his anti-Islam, anti-multiculturalist ideology and plans for attacks. The document, structured in three parts, expounds Breivik's ideology portraying Islam as a threat to European civilization and calls for a 'Knights Templar' uprising to combat it through violent revolution. It includes historical analyses, political critiques, instructions for bomb-making and attacks, and a fictional narrative of future conflicts. Released via email to over 1,000 recipients on July 22, 2011, hours before Breivik's terrorist attacks in Norway that killed 77 people, it became a key artifact in understanding his motivations and has been widely studied for insights into far-right radicalization, though condemned as hate speech promoting terrorism.
