ISBN10: 0198206909, ISBN13: 9780198206903, [publisher: Oxford University Press, USA] Hardcover nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - This is the first comprehensive account of Britain's relations with Switzerland during World War II.

While some of theproblems London faced were unique to Anglo-Swiss relations, officials were rarely able to deal with Switzerland in isolation from Britain's broader diplomatic objectives. As a result the book contributes toour und ...
