<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A comprehensive history of Sweden covering events from the Stone Age onwards.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Neil Kent's book sweeps through Sweden's history from the Stone Age to the present day. Early coverage includes Viking hegemony, the Scandinavian Union, the Reformation and Sweden's political zenith as Europe's greatest superpower in the seventeenth century, while later chapters explore the Swedish Enlightenment, royal absolutism, the commitment to military neutrality and Pan-Scandinavianism. The author brings his account up to date by focusing on more recent developments: the rise of Social Democracy, the establishment of the welfare state, the country's acceptance of membership in the European Union and its progressive ecological programme. The book successfully combines the politics, economics and social and cultural mores of one of the world's most successfully functioning and humane societies. This is an informative and entertaining account for students and general readers.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Recommended." -Choice<br>
