The assault on 'small-state realism'. 330 $aThis book fills a gap in the existing literature on the Second World War by covering the range of challenges, threats, issues, dilemmas, and changes faced and dealt with by Sweden during the conflict. Interest in Sweden's wartime experiences has increased due to its post-war profile as a neutral that both allowed German troops to transit through its territory and also carried on trading with the Nazi regime during the holocaust years. Many misconceptions and false impressions have arisen and persisted as a result of deliberate misinformation and concealment by all sides during that time. Readers of this book will gain a fresh, broad view of the period, personalities and problems from a Swedish orientation. 410 0$aSocieties at war. 517 3 $aSweden, the Swastika & Stalin 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$zSweden 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xSocial aspects$zSweden 607 $aSweden$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xSocial aspects 676 $a940.53485 700 $aGilmour$b John$01041550 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458251203321 996 $aSweden, the swastika and Stalin$92465157 997 $aUNINA
