One of the most remote and ruggedly beautiful countries in the world, Finland for centuries was dominated by its powerful neighbors Sweden and Russia. In the last century, it has transformed itself into a strong democratic nation and, in the last decade, has emerged as a world leader in information and communication technology. In addition, this book portrays the history of the Finnish people, from ancient to modern times.
