Reader Reviews:
An excellent and concise summary (3/3 people found this helpful)
Having become fascinated by Scandanavian, and more especially, Swedish culture and history, during the past decade, I have been searching for a concise history for some time. It was with anticipation that I approached this book and my expectations have been met. Neil Kent writes in a masterly but accessible manner and carries the reader with a strength of argument and well researched fact.
This is a tremendous introduction to Swedish history and the forces that shaped one of the most humane societies on earth. Full marks to the author; a highly recommended and enjoyable text and a welcome addition to the Concise Cambridge Series.
