DESCRIPTION:
Dr. Jochen Seeliger said Unique in military historiography.. This is an extraordinary book. The history of Sweden's bellicose conflicts with her neighbours is long. But, although the time Sweden herself was at war dates back almost two centuries, Swedish volunteers, since that time, have fought in various foreign Armed Forces in many parts of the world. To have collected and unfolded the life stories of these Swedes makes this book unique in military historiography.I. The Gyro Captain said Great Account Of Swedish Soldiers In "Great Account Of Swedish Soldiers In 20th Century Wars" according to The Gyro Captain. This is an excellent narrative history, that does a wonderful job illustrating the role Swedish soldiers played in various 20th century wars. Despite being from a nation that was officially neutral, Swedish nationals (many who were professional soldiers in Sweden) served in just about every war. Often, the professionalism and technical skill of the Swedes far outweighed the total number of Swedes engaged.Th. 0th Century Wars.
