I am pleased to see that the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War has led to the publication of a number of books in Switzerland on that country's history during the conflict. "14/18 La Suisse et la Grande Guerre" is the first one that I have seen. I have not had time yet to read it thoroughly, but here is an initial review.
Incidentally the striking but at first perplexing photograph on the cover shows a hot air balloon being transported by water from Lac de Neuchâtel to Lac de Bienne in 1915.
