&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:400;"&gt;Oddvar Høidal is a Norwegian-American historian. Born in 1938 in Ålesund, Høidal moved to San Diego with his parents in 1947. He studied at the University of Southern California. He received his Ph.D. degree in 1970 with a thesis about Vidkun Quisling's activities from 1933 to 1937. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:400;"&gt;Høidal is professor emeritus at San Diego State University. He has published several books, including “Quisling: A Study in Treason” and “Trotsky in Norway: Exile, 1935–1937.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Scope and Content: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
