A History of Finland

“A History of Finland surveys the history of this courageous nation from prehistoric times, through the epoch of Viking heroes, to modern times.

This volume, in tracing the long and intricate pattern of Finland’s history – its relations with Sweden and Russia, the growth of Finnish nationalism, and the development of a distinctively Finnish culture – offers a comprehensive perspective on one of the little-known countries of Europe.

This new, revised and partly rewritten edition depicts also the period following World War II in depth.”
