"It's great to know that my musical history lesson will reach out to some
of the top leaders of Europe, and not only to teenagers all around the
world", says the producer Martin Landquist.

The album and edutainment project "WORDS THAT WON THE WAR" performed by
the group Stryngford Syntagma has been written and produced by Martin
Landquist. In Sweden, it is retailed by the Red Cross Web shop amongst many
others.

Besides being a music album, it is also a reminder of the importance of
defending democracy and the open society. The original purpose of this
project was to make young people interested in history and the spoken word.

In Sweden, the album is used in several schools and in the parliament.
