Switzerland's Untold War
In "Switzerland's Untold War: The Truth Behind Nidwalden's Terror Days," Lukas Stofer delves into the tumultuous period of the Nidwalden crisis, challenging the conventional image of Switzerland as a tranquil, neutral country.

Luckily, the photographer's son has rescued these treasures and ensured their publication. Let's call it a day is the fourth volume in a series of books that brings into focus this extraordinary work.
B Useless ;-)
They are grave looking while commuting to their work; they are well dressed, mostly in shades of gray; they multitask to master the hyperactive pace of today, and they are tuned for success, success that is measured by the bags of money made per day. The business people of this world take themselves and their hunting for the bacon very seriously, and wasting time, laughing at themselves and useless performances are taboo.
