This book based on historical documents and archives on various aspects of Azerbaijani-Swiss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.
