The Eye Of The Hurricane

This book provides an account of the extraordinary adventure of Switzerland, caught by the hurricane called World War II and explores the myths surrounding the World War II in a narrative based largely on the author's experiences as both participant and observer.

Despite the voluminous research published about World War II, there has remained a surprising gap; there is little, perhaps nothing, on the role of Switzerland. It was in the neutral Swiss oasis-where a perilous balancing act was required for survival-that a combination of determination and delicate negotiation continued to frustrate the Axis powers. Urs Schwarz cuts through the myths surrounding this period in a narrative based largely on his experiences as both participant and observer. He was a soldier, then a journalist in war-torn Berlin, and, beginning in 1942, foreign editor of the Neue ZÃ¼rcher Zeitung. These experiences, and subsequent extensive research, result here in a unique and discerning-and colorful-history.
