Negative Positive
Title: Excellent Journalistic Work
Review: La Place de la Concorde Suisse is a fascinating read because, more than simply describe the reality of the Swiss military, it conveyed how various Swiss think about the military. The book also does an excellent job of explaining the peculiar (and uniquely successful) Swiss approach to neutrality.Although I understand how important geography is to understanding the Swiss approach to neutrality, I sometimes found the author's description of Swiss geography to be distracting. Not having visited Switzerland, I'm unable to identify its individual peaks and sometimes felt bombarded by proper nouns that communicated nothing to me.Other than that minor complaint, the book did a great job of communicating a complex, foreign system.
