Buchbeschreibung Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. Text in English. 225 pp. Light wear on the dust jacket. Slightly faded spine. In November 1939, three months after the Soviet-German pact and the outbreak of the Second World War, Russian armed forces invaded Finland. By March 1940 the Russians were victorious and Finland was forced to make important territorial concessions, which included its southernmost harbour, Hanko, on the Baltic and the province of Karelia around Lake Ladoga in the south - the Finnish border had previously been uncomfortably close to Leningrad. For those few months, in the depths of the 'Phoney War' and of an exceptionally hard winter, the Finnish War was a world sensation (until the Nazi invasion of Norway a month after it ended and of the Low Countries and France two months later swept it rapidly from the headlines). The Finns were masters of their own environment and the Russians, poorly trained and equipped, and out-manoeuvred by Finnish ski troops, at first made ridiculous spectacle. Western public a opinion was roused almost unanimously on the Finnish side: it was essential to save the Finns before the coming of Spring ended the tactical deadlock. In the event the Finns were not rescued and had to surrender. A number of memoirs and official histories have given information on Allied policies and military plans during the Finnish War. But the present study gives the first consistent inside picture of how, at cabinet and war council level, the early indifference soon gave way to a view that Finland represented overriding strategic interests for the Allies and that the country had to be rescued even at the risk of an armed confict with the Soviet Union. The corresponding chapters, illustrated by vivid verbatim quotations from cabinet records and other first-hand documents, are dramatically completed by passages based on similar Finnish sources and describing how the Allied approaches were received in Helsinki. The study gives extensive information on the amount and quality of the assistance, both official and private, which was given to Finland by the Western countries. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 4024
