Mikko Porvali

I am a Finnish Historian, Lawyer and Author. As a Historian I am mainly focused on military intelligence matters - such as long-distance patrolling, human intelligence and intelligence gathering of the Finnish General Staff during the 20th Century.

I have written about 15 non-fiction books about Finnish history, mainly of subjects relating to World War two. In addition, I have written a historical novel trilogy, dealing with the development of forensics and the criminal investigation skills of the Finnish Police.

All of my books in Finland have been published by Finnish Publishing house Atena (part of Otava Publishing group). Some of my books have also been published in Sweden and in Estonia.

I produce manuscripts and screenplays mainly about subjects relating to Finnish or Nordic history, military history or historical intelligence gathering.
