Review:
"A fascinating and enlightening explanation of the dilemma Switzerland found itself in during the 1930's and 1940's."
From the Publisher:
An exceptional and timely book...
Constitutional lawyer and historian Stephen P. Halbrook has written an authoritative, intensely documented account that finally brings the facts of Swiss resistance to the Nazis to light. Following a brief look at Switzerland's military history and the evolution of her stance of armed neutrality, he minutely examines the Second World War, when the Swiss citizen army, led by General Henri Guisan, vowed never to surrender to German aggression. Enemy invasion plans are described (including maps), as well as Swiss defensive strategies (which consisted of retreating slowly into the Alps, and fighting to the last man). This book describes a brave democracy surrounded and outnumbered forty to one, but refusing to give in to the scourge of the Nazis.
