Frost
Frost (2003) är en äventyrsberättelse från nordisk vikingatid som redan utnämnts till modern klassiker - en värdig arvtagare till Röde Orm och Kristin Lavransdotter. Gest är bara tretton år då han efter att ha hämnats sin fars död blir fredlös och tvingas fly. Han seglar till Norge, hamnar i Trondheim och blir snart indragen i våldsamma maktstrider mellan olika lokala hövdingar.
Harry Martinson
Harry Martinson (1904-1978) har blitt beskrevet som "Sveriges største naturbegavelse innen litteratur". Staffan Söderblom viser i denne boken hvordan Martinsons hjemløshet som barn kom til å prege ham for resten av livet, og hvordan hjemløshet ble et sentralt emne i forfatterskapet. Martinson ble raskt elsket av sitt publikum, men hans kritikk av den teknologiske utviklingen og uro for miljøspørsmål mot slutten av livet hans gjorde at mange så på ham som en nostalgisk bakstrever. Steffen Söderblom omvurderer i denne biografien Martinsons sene forfatterskap, og mener at Martinson tidligere en de fleste forutså menneskenes store fremtidsproblemer, og at tiden nå er rede for å forstå ham. 350 s., ib. 1994 (Natur och Kultur)
Nathan Soderblom
Nathan Soderblom (1866-1931), was not only a profoundly influential figure in Swedish church history, but also one of the great pioneers of the modern ecumenical movement. Elected Archbishop of Uppsala, the head of the Lutheran church in Sweden, in 1914, he was a ceaseless advocate for peace during the first world war. His collaboration with George Bell laid the foundations for intercommunion between the Church of Sweden and the Church of England. Finally, in the year before he died, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Despite this, until this landmark biography he was largely neglected by historians, the subject of only a few partial studies. In Nathan Soderblom: His Life and Work, Bengt Sundkler corrects this, with new analysis of Soderblom's meticulously preserved correspondence and interviews with his family, friends and former students. The resulting image is of a man deeply committed to his leadership of ecumenical projects, most significantly his movement of 'Life and Work', btu also of a complex and fascinating personality.

Nathan Söderblom (1866-1931) was Archbishop of Uppsala in the Church of Sweden and a pioneering force behind the modern ecumenical movement. A vocal advocate for peace and justice during and after World War I, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1930. This award-winning biography by Jonas Jonson tells who Söderblom was, how he thought, and what he did, placing his groundbreaking ecumenical work within its academic, ecclesial, and political contexts.

Diplomat Heroes of the Holocaust
Deals with those embassy and consular workers throughout German-occupied Europe who, through granting visas to Jews or obtaining consular protection for them, rescued thousands of lives. Most of these diplomats acted contrary to their governments' policies of non-admission of Jews and infringed on instructions given to them or at least the spirit of these instructions, thereby risking their careers and sometimes their lives. Arranged according to the countries where these diplomats were accredited: Germany, Austria, Lithuania, France, Denmark, Hungary, and others. Ch. 7 (pp. 111-200), "Budapest: The Apocalypse", deals with events in Budapest in 1944, when diplomats of various countries, by concerted efforts, granted visas and consular protection to ca. 25,000 Jews. Dwells especially on the activities of Frank Foley, Jan Zwartendijk, Sempo Sugihara, Luiz Martins de Souza Dantas, Aristides de Sousa Mendes, Georg Ferdinand Duckwitz, Carl Lutz, Raoul Wallenberg, Giorgio Perlasca, and Angelo Rotta.
A Short Course in the Secret War
This now classic insider's look at international intelligence and secret operations, based in part on the author's own Cold War experience in Hungary after World War II, has been updated to include a new afterword featuring revelations of Raoul Wallenberg's fate, British turncoat Kim Philby, and much more.
