Re: LeLv 26
These kind of books are quite common in Finland nowadays. What is common is the author is a veteran or a child of a veteran. He probably doesn't have a major in history or he maybe haven't even studied at any university.
There's a word in Finnish for these kind of books / research, "nollatutkimus" ("zero research"). What I'm missing in these books are the sources! It's quite hard to read between the lines and try to find out what are the facts, what's fiction, what information was gathered from interview(s) and what from period documents.
