News from Henrik Lunde Henrik Lunde, author of Hitler's Pre-Emptive War: The Battle for Norway, sends along notes about his current project: "The first draft of my book on Finland's "Continuation War" in coalition with Germany is nearing completion. A focus of the book is on how and why Finland became a participant, the undue optimism that prevailed in both Germany and Finland, the lack of a binding alliance, and the failure to orchestrate war aims and plans. Numerous problems surfaced as a result of these failures and they were exacerbated by problems bound to arise in a coalition between a democracy and a dictatorship. The military operations in Finland are described in some detail but not to the same extent as in Hitler's Pre-emptive War. While the war in Norway lasted 62 days, Finland's involvement in military operations, first against Russia and then against Germany, lasted almost four years."
Now available from Halsgrove Simpson, Geoff. A Dictionary of the Battle of Britain. Wellington, UK: Halsgrove Publishing, 2009
