This book, based on historical documents and archives on various aspects
of Azerbaijani-Swiss relations, is a valuable contribution to the study
and investigation of our rich diplomatic heritage. The book examines and
analyzes the reasons for the failure of the Confederation initiatives in
the Caucasus and Azerbaijan's interest in Switzerland. At the same time,
the Swiss and the areas in which they invested are also identified. One
of the highlights of this book, presented to a wide readership, is the
first clarification of the fate of more than 300 Azerbaijani soldiers
missing in World War II. This book, which is of particular importance
from the point of view of Azerbaijani sources and historiography, opens
the way for Azerbaijani researchers to have direct contact with the
primary sources. The fact that the original texts in German and French
are also reflected in the book should be particularly emphasized.
