Story
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.

Story
What really happened to the billions of dollars worth of gold seized by Nazi Germany? What role did the Swiss government play and what are the implications of neutrality during wartime? The author addresses these questions, presents the case for and against Switzerland, and applies the lessons learned from World War II to the broader issue of companies - and countries - profiting during wartime.

Story
Es el nombre del conflicto que se produjo en el área del Río de la Plata entre 1839 y 1851, y que arrastró a Brasil, Francia y Gran Bretaña. Los beligerantes fueron los seguidores del Partido Blanco del Uruguay, encabezados por Manuel Oribe, aliados de los federales argentinos, y los colorados, aliados de los unitarios argentinos. El futuro de Uruguay estaba en juego.
