Those interested in this northern European country can learn more about its history by reading the fascinating book "Histoire de la Suède", by Jean-Marie Maillefer. The book tells us about the country's earliest inhabitants, the Viking era and the Age of Freedom, as well as how Sweden is traversing contemporary times, with landmark events such as NATO membership in 2024.
