Finland in World War II : history, memory, interpretations

Tiina Kinnunen (Editor), Ville Kivimäki (Editor)
"This volume brings together a rich array of original contributions, hitherto unavailable in English, on Finland during World War II and the place of the war in Finnish collective memory. Providing readers with a solid narrative of the war's political and military framework from a Finnish perspective, this volume also offers well-argued analyses of the ideological, social and cultural aspects of a society at war. As part of the complex legacy of the war it discusses the 'Karelian question' and the Holocaust in Finnish public memory ... Besides a historical narrative, this volume ... also reveals to readers the history and current state of Finnish historiography of World War II"--Page 4 of cover
