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.
