Si Vis Pacem...! - Sweden's Total Defence (Paperback, New edition)

That Sweden has enjoyed almost 200 years of peace is no accident. This text sets out to examine the various factors which have allowed it to maintain its freedom from war for almost two centuries. In particular, it traces the development of the Swedish policy of Total Defence which despite its key strategic position, at the mouth of the Baltic, permitted Sweden to remain aloof during both World Wars and allowed it to maintain an independent foreign policy during the subsequent Cold War between East and West.
