How Finland Survived Stalin: From Winter War to Cold War, 1939-1950
Rentola uses Soviet archives to explain the survival: the Winter War, the 1944 fighting and the postwar settlement joined into one account of living beside Stalin.
Rentola uses Soviet archives to explain why Finland was never absorbed, connecting the Winter War, the fighting of 1944 and the postwar settlement into a single account of a small state surviving next to Stalin. The archival basis is what makes it persuasive: the decisions being explained are visible from the Moscow side.

An excellent book, especially good on linking the Winter War with the fighting of 1944 and also the postwar settlments.
