Gustaf Mannerheim, Marshal of Finland: A Life in Geopolitics by Henrik Meinander is travelling to Armenia, where it will be published by Newmag.
Mannerheim, Marshal of Finland: A Life In Geopolitics, by Henrik Meinander, one of top Finnish historians today, is the best biography so far of Gustaf Mannerheim, known maybe most often as the War Marshal of Finland during the years of the Second World War.
Mannerheim had a life with turns and twists like no other Finnish statesman, spanning from his days as an officer in the Russian army. Meinander weaves it together with the events of the old and new Europe and Russia that were in rapid change in the very years Mannerheim lived and worked. The reader gets a vivid picture of the international politics of the time and gets to also see Finland in a larger European context. The World English rights were acquired by Hurst, and the English edition has been praised by The Times and The Financial Times.
Henrik Meinander is professor of history at the University of Helsinki and the author of many acclaimed books on Finnish and Nordic history. He was formerly curator of the Mannerheim Museum in Helsinki and head of the Finnish Institute in Stockholm.
