This series is intended both to open up new approaches to the history of the Second World War and to re-assess established themes. Covering the civilian as well as the military aspects of the conflict, the series examines how societies waged war between 1939 and 1945, and the effects of war upon them.This is the first book in English to explore the full scope of events in neutral Sweden during the Second World War - from sabotage to censorship - and Sweden's difficult relationships with the fighting nations. As well as considering the more familiar diplomatic and trade issues, John Gilmour delves into the manoeuvrings of the country's political and military leadership, the ways in which society changed under the pressures of wartime living and how the warring countries tried to turn Sweden into an ideological battlefield. Challenging pre-conceptions, he goes beyond the stereotypical presentations of Sweden's conduct to examine the pressures and motivations that drove politicians to pursue controversial policies, to observe people's lives on the Home Front, and review the various issues in the heated post-war debate.The book also shows how Sweden successfully dealt with Germany and the Soviet Union - two of the world's most brutal regimes - and survived as an independent, democratic nation, but remains obsessed with the morality of its wartime policies.

[ED: Hardcover], [PU: EDINBURGH UNIV PR], An important addition to the Societies at War series, this book covers the challenges, threats, and changes Sweden faced during the conflict. Interest in Sweden's wartime experiences has increased due to its post-war profile as a neutral that both allowed German troops to transit through its territory and also carried on trading with the Nazi regime during the holocaust years. Many misconceptions and false impressions have arisen and persisted as a result of deliberate misinformation and concealment by all sides during that time. Readers of this book will gain a fresh, broad view of the period, personalities and problems from a Swedish orientation. .
