"Swiss Watching". One country with four languages, 26 cantons, and 7.7 million people (but only 80% of them Swiss): there's nowhere else like it in Europe. Switzerland may be almost 400 km from the nearest drop of sea water, but it is an island at the centre of Europe. Swiss Watching is a revealing historical journey around Europe's most individual country. While seeking Heidi and meeting Tell, it relives a bloody past and explores an uncertain future.
It's also the story of its people, who have more power than their politicians, but can't speak to one another in the same language – and who own more guns per head than the people of Iraq. As for those national clichés, well, not all the cheese has holes, cuckoo clocks aren’t Swiss and the trains don’t always run exactly on time.
Come and meet the author of the number one Swiss bestseller!
