Luxembourg, Vol. 23 FROM THE PUBLISHER
The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, the smallest member of the European Union, is a sovereign state tucked away between Belgium, France and Germany. Formerly a formidable fortress it has over the centuries been successively assailed and occupied by Burgundian, Spanish, French, Austrian and Prussian troops. Luxembourg has become one of the thriving financial and telecommunications centres of Western Europe, thanks both to its geographical position and its highly qualified, multilingual work-force.
