A biography of Vidkun Quisling, focusing on his role in the political life of Norway before and during World War II. The racism of his National Union Party was directed mainly against Jews, with systematic attacks in the party press. Despite the small number of Jews in Norway, Quisling maintained that they were a threat because of their Bolshevik connections and their possession of the world's wealth, stating that the Jews wanted to incorporate Norway into a Marxist world-state under their domination. He attacked a proposal to allow Jewish refugees to settle in Norway in the 1930s. Quisling conspired with the Nazis to occupy Norway and served as Minister President under their authority. Incarceration of Jews and confiscation of their property began in 1941, and deportations in the fall of 1942; most of those deported died in Auschwitz. At Quisling's trial for treason after the war, one of the counts of the indictment was that he contributed to the death of Jews by encouraging their deportation to Nazi extermination camps. He was executed in October 1945.

'Straight Whisky' is the first book ever to chronicle all the music, magic and mayhem of the Sunset Strip. Erik Quisling and Austin Williams have created a unique multi-levelled portrait that is unlike any other rock book on record. With its sweeping historical analysis and down and dirty details, 'Straight Whisky' pulls no punches and leaves no stone unturned. Quisling has drawn upon extensive research to chronicle the ways in which music on the Sunset Strip has both shaped and reflected the American experience since 1964. Williams has chosen sixteen of the most memorable events from the period and developed them into dramatic narratives that offer an intensely intimate view of this incredible story. Together, along with dozens of rare photos and original interviews with the rock stars who were there when it all happened, these perspectives provide a comprehensive look at the most famous stretch of rock 'n' roll real estate on Earth: the famed 'rock block' of Sunset Boulevard. Here are the stories that have been whispered about for decades. Now they can be told out loud for the first time.
