I just starting reading this book today ... I have a pen-pal in Finland, and have been looking for a book with a consise history and overally balanced view on their culture, history, politics and arts. This book does that and more. It has many beautiful full pages of photography and scenario or art.
Highly recommended for someone wanting to learn a bit about a very interesting country.
