Book description
Finland, Cultural Lone Wolf is the story of an accomplished nation
and her extraordinary people. Pursuing a "Lone Wolf" policy,
Finland raised
itself from a struggling war-battered state in
1945 to one of the most developed countries in the world. These
remarkable people speak a language unique in its origins and have kept
their cultural identity intact despite the influences of powerful
neighbors, Sweden and Russia.
