Between a rock and a sledgehammer. A history of Finland. By Borgþór Kjærnested.
It is no exaggeration to say that the history of the Finns is fateful. Borgþór's account of the Finnish people's ambivalent struggle for independence during the First World War, and the calamity of the civil war that followed, is instructive.
The Winter War – when the Finns stood alone in the world facing the overwhelming might of the Red Army – and won a defensive victory – the only nation in Europe, apart from Britain, that managed to repel the communist and Nazi invasion and preserve its independence.
This speaks volumes about the fortitude and fortitude of the Finnish people in the face of a critical moment.
