Re: Can you recommend a book on the history of Switzerland?
I've recently read an article about the new interest in Swiss history in the French speaking part of the country that also led to the creation of two new compact books, similar to this one in German (that I didn't read. Volker Reinhardt: Geschichte der Schweiz). Perhaps one of these will be translated?

Speaking of General Guisan and his antagonist, then president Pilet-Golaz, I've stumbled upon this article about the air force and relationships with Germany in WWII. Might be worth a machine translation. For the aviation buffs, the printed version of this article is in the latest issue of the Wochenzeitung (17.1.08) and has photographs of the Me-109 and D-3800, too
