THE BOOKS

 

Books on the Teachers Group.

THE MASTER FROM TVIND(Mesteren fra Tvind)
by Frede Farmand
In Danish
(March 2003)

​

A 'history of the Teacher's Group revolution' by the critical Danish investigative journalist Frede Farmand, who has collected thousands of documents to support his account.

Farmand describes Amdi Petersen as a 'Master', who in almost Biblical terms, became a self-appointed revolutionary and saviour through his creation, the Teachers Group.

The first truly comprehensive glimpse into the 'project' behind the Tvind organisation and an important contribution to the story.  (Danish only)

 

THE TRAVELLERS
(Den Rejsende)
by Hans la Cour
In Danish
(Sept 2002)

​

A personal account of 18 years in Tvind.

Hans la Cour was an idealistic young man who joined Tvind in the early days of the movement and rose to become a close confidant of Amdi Petersen.

During 18 years, he reveals how he helped launder money through the Humanitarian Fund, the Tvind charity that is now the subject of Amdi's prosecution.   La Cour, now a TV producer in New Zealand, is a leading witness against Amdi and the other TG-members.

La Cour was in a central position in the Fund, a project-leader in some of the most important, extravagant projects, amongst them Global Research (2.4 million Danish kroner) and The Voice of The Third World (14 million Danish kroner).

He left the TG 12 years ago because, he says, he found out that the whole idea was not to help the suppressed masses of the world - but to help Amdi and the TG.  He stayed silent for 10 years but 2 years ago he told Danish TV2 what he knew.  In the book he - for the first time - tells the whole story about his life in the TG and his many meetings with Amdi.  (Danish media)
