Reviews

Jung is an outstanding storyteller. Here he offers up an economic, transport, tourism and emigration history of Switzerland, well embedded in its context. The work is easy to read; Jung captivates the reader with his tales of the successes and failures of his pioneers. Michael Kitzing, Friedrich Naumann Foundation, Germany This book presents the brilliant transformation of Switzerland in the 19th century, in which this country and its political system surpassed most other European nations in democratic progress. Holger Boehning, Jahrbuch fur Kommunikationsgeschichte An excellent, carefully illustrated and excitingly written panorama of an important chapter in Swiss history. Jurg Muller, Schweizer Revue
