Memoirs. Volume 2 Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim
Marshal Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim (1867–1951) successfully ruled the armed forces and the country during the struggle for independence, the state formation, and during the years of global military and political conflicts that threatened the very foundations of Finland’s existence. This is the man who has made the most significant contribution to the country’s sovereignty. The second volume of his memoirs tells about difficult vicissitudes of the formation and financing of the Finnish Defence Forces, the fierce opposition to a much more powerful eastern enemy during the Winter War (1939–1940) and the Continuation War (1941–1944), and challenges of postwar political development of the country.
