Sweden, the Swastika and Stalin

(AUTHOR APPROVED, ENDORSEMENTS added Jan 2010) "Gives the reader a fresh and authoritative view of wartime Sweden, from the nation‘s dealings with Nazi Germany to everyday life and social change. More controversially, Gilmour assesses key decisions by the Swedish leadership and tackles post-war questions about Swedish actions in the era of the Holocaust." Professor Krister Wahlbäck, Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs. "It is so rare to have a scholar so competent in the source material of Sweden during the Second World War ...no book in English has managed to give such a comprehensive picture." Jonas Frykman, Professor of European Ethnology, Lund University. "Sweden, the Swastika and Stalin (2010) is the first modern book in English to cover just about all major aspects of Sweden during WWII. It should become required reading for all students of 20th century Scandinavian history." Lars Gyllenhaal, member of the Swedish Military History Commission. "Gilmour has the ability of bringing together various aspects of history, in particular its political, military and diplomatic dimensions, which makes his book useful also for Swedish-speaking readers. Remarkably, there is at the moment no equivalent introduction available in Swedish." Johan Östling, Department of History, Lund University. "Unlike Boëthius, Gilmour has built an argument from the sources rather than an emotional approach towards Swedish conduct." Major Claes Henrikson, Militär Historia.
