Lloyd, Jr., came to Europe after the Second World War bent on a quest for peace. pursued their pacific aims But whereas most of his brethren mainly by bringing comfort to the victims of war through their generosity and the example of human fellowship, Mr. Lloyd had another, more specific and more intellectual purpose besides.

I. Waging Peace: William Bross Lloyd's Uses Of The Swiss Experience, Christian D. Nokkentved

Swiss American Historical Society Review

For many Americans, scholar and lay alike, western Europe consists of the Big Three, England, Germany, and France. Monographs in English about the history and culture of Europe typjcally pertain only to them. On occasion another region or nation is included, but not unless "important" events took place there. Italy, for instance, only "existed" during the Renaissance, the Risorgimento, and again under Mussolini. Smaller countries like Switzerland, Portugal, or Denmark often do not get mentioned at all even when part of "world historical" phenomena. George Huppert exemplifies this approach in his newest book, After the Black Death: A Social History …

Niklaus R. Schweizer, His Hawaiian Excellency, New York: Peter Lang Publishing, Inc., 1987, $54.00. 267 Pp., David Beck

Swiss American Historical Society Review

As historical fiction, His Hawaiian Excellency cannot be judged wholly as history nor as fiction. The author himself faced different problems than a historian normally does in creating his work. Therefore, different questions must be asked, when judging the success of this work, than would be asked if it were a more standard historical piece. Most important among these are whether the work accurately represents the sources, and whether the author tells a good story. In addition, the author's purposes must be taken into account: are these successfully met? Schweizer sets out to "shed some light on a colorful and …

The Wisconsin Swiss: A Portrait, Ernest Menolfi, Leo Schelbert

Swiss American Historical Society Review

Few regions of the United States of North America have attracted as many Swiss as did the State of Wisconsin. It registered their steady increase among its foreign-born until 1920, and its southern region became well known for its Swiss American presence. Yet the Swiss remained throughout a rather small group among Wisconsin's people. The 1850 U. S. census, for example, counted a total of 304,756 inhabitants; of these 54,312 were born in Wisconsin, 139,166 in other parts of the Union, and 110,471 were foreign-born; among these 1,244 Swiss were counted (the nativity of 807 people remained 1 unknown).
