Description

From Goodreads: "La Place de la Concorde Suisse is John McPhee's rich, journalistic study of the Swiss Army's role in Swiss society. The Swiss Army is so quietly efficient at the art of war that the Isrealis carefully patterned their own military on the Swiss model."

First Sentence

The Swiss have not fought a war for nearly five hundred years, and are determined to know how so as not to.
