Switzerland is a remarkable country, half of whose territory lies in the Alps. This is the history of one Swiss alpine village. Raising cattle and making cheese brought modest wealth to its struggling peasants until a destructive Napoleonic invasion brought revolution and poverty. Well-being was slowly restored by a democratic unification of Switzerland. The Alps took on a romantic tourist glow in the Edwardian age and after the disruptions of two world wars the highland farmers and guest house keeps began to prosper.
The book is published by Ohio University Press and Swallow Press.

Interesting content, but some major slip-ups concerning things I do know make me wonder about the accuracy of things I knew less well, "The American invasion of France in 1944"? Really? Major loss of credibility with that statement.
Could have been better very easily

Great background to hiking in The alps

Robotic narration makes this a slog, as well as too much attention on unimportant details, such as how much butter a certain person bought on a certain day in a certain year for a certain price; or a slowly, detailed account of a regiment that marched through the valley (I.e. 24 dragoons, 2 drummer boys, 4 oxen, 5 wagons, etc) or an accounting of exactly what was lost in a fire.
Book could possibly be cut in half. Might be good if you have a case of insomnia. Don’t recommend driving while listening.
Bad narration and pedantically detailed.
