In The Naked Swiss: A Nation Behind 10 Myths, journalist Clare

O’Dea promises to change the way the world thinks about modern

Switzerland – and give Swiss readers much to think about too. In 10

fact-based chapters O’Dea investigates positive myths of modern

Switzerland (The Swiss are Rich/Brilliant/Have the Perfect Democracy)

with the same sharp journalistic eye she uses to assess negative ones

(The Swiss are Crooked Bankers/Xenophobic/Helped the Nazis). It is a

view of Switzerland that will surprise even many Swiss readers.
