 La Place de la Concorde Suisse John McPhee CULTURAL PORTRAIT • 1994 • PAPER • 150 PAGES
In the company of a Swiss patrol leader on a training mission, McPhee deploys his usual insight and wonderful prose on the phenomenon of the army of Switzerland -- a country twice the size of New Jersey with a much smaller population and an army of 650,000. What unfolds is an irreverent portrait of Switzerland and the Swiss mindset.
