The Expo Files

Now almost exclusively known as the author of the bestselling Millennium Trilogy, Stieg Larsson was first and foremost a professional journalist and an untiring crusader for democracy and equality. These articles explore the human rights issues closest to his heart, issues that formed the ideological foundation of his explosive trio of novels.

As a reporter for and editor-in-chief of the journal *Expo* , Larsson researched the extreme right both in Sweden and internationally. Collected here for the first time are his most penetrating essays and articles on such topics as the spread of racist and anti-democratic extremism in Europe; violence against women and its effect on women’s rights; homophobia; and honor killings. Also included is his wonderfully compelling account, written for *Vagabond* magazine, of his travels aboard the Trans-Siberian Express, which he rode from Moscow to Beijing.
