Summary "Jääkärin päiväkirja" by Aarne Mustasalo is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book provides an intimate look into the experiences of Finnish volunteers known as "Jääkäris" during World War I, focusing on their journey towards gaining independence for Finland from Russian rule. It captures their struggles, camaraderie, and the profound emotions associated with their mission. At the start of the narrative, the author describes the atmosphere in Rauma, Finland, as winter descends and the early snow coats the streets. There is a palpable sense of urgency and excitement among the local youth, who are drawn to the idea of joining the fight for Finland's freedom. The opening establishes the backdrop of a nation on the brink of significant political change, intertwined with the personal stories of young men who are contemplating their roles in this unfolding drama. We are introduced to a group of students who converse about national identity and their aspirations for independence, reflecting their internal conflicts and the harsh realities they will soon face on their historic journey.
