A Concise History Of Switzerland by Clive H. Church
A compact narrative tracing Switzerland’s evolution from a loose medieval confederation to a stable modern federal state, examining key political institutions (cantonal autonomy, direct democracy), its long-standing neutrality and international role, economic development from agriculture to banking and industry, and the social and cultural dynamics of multilingualism, religion and immigration; the book also considers major turning points such as the Reformation, the Napoleonic period, 19th-century nation-building and industrialization, and Switzerland’s responses to the world wars and European integration.
