Small powers in the age of total war, 1900-1940 / edited by Herman Amersfoort, Wim Klinkert.
In the period 1900-1940 the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Norway and Switzerland reacted in divergent ways to the same foreign military threats. This volume argues that their internal politics and politico-military strategic culture are vital keys to understanding those differences.
