This review is from: The Eye of the Hurricane: Switzerland in World War II (Hardcover)

TO ALL WHO WONDER "WHERE'S the MONEY"
THIS IS A BOOK THAT WILL NOT ONLY EDUCATE THOSE BEFORE AND AFTER WWII BUT THIS BOOK IS A CLASSIC.
I SHALL HAVE TO ADMIT THAT AT FIRST I WAS A BIT APPREHENSIVE AND MISTRUSTFUL AS I HAVE NEVER LIKED THE SWISS AND HAVE CONSIDERED THEM NOT NEUTRAL BUT COWARDS. NOT SO. IT TOOK ME TO NEW LEVELS OF UNDERSTANDING, NOT ALL ACCEPTING OF ALL THINGS SWISS BUT THEN THAT IS WHAT EDUCATION IS ALL ABOUT.
IF I WAS CAPABLE OF SUCH A VENTURE I WOULD INSIST EVERY INSTITUTION OF LEARNING OWN THIS BOOK AND IT BE READ BY EVERY HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT IN AMERICA AND ABROAD. AND I FORGOT TO MENTION. IT WAS WRITEN BY AN AMERICAN. IT IS SO WELL RESEARCHED, AND WRITTEN WITH CLARITY ONE WOUOLD BE A FOOL TO BYPASS IT.
