This plentifully illustrated overall presentation of Finnish history covers the lines of development of the country's political history, along with its economic and cultural history. The main emphasis is on the events in Finland after 1809 and especially in independent Finland.

The book also illuminates the background to historical events, the lives of important people, and recent decisions in Finland.

Among the subjects presented are Michael Agricola and the Finnish written language, Marshal Mannerheim and President Urho Kekkonen. The book also considers the Finnish race, language and identity, the right to vote which Finnish women were the first in the world to achieve, the geopolitical background of the Winter War, Finland's progress in the European Union, and the Nokia success story.

An updated Finnish edition of this book is also available: Lyhyt Suomen historia.
