Baltic Nations and Europe [EPUB ebook] 
Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania in the Twentieth Century

Of all the Soviet Union’s subject nationalities, the three Baltic republics, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, were the most determined and best organised in seizing the opportunities created by glasnost and perestroika to win freedom from Moscow’s grip.At the time of first publication, in 1991, the final section of the book was speculative. Now for this revised edition, the authors have provided a new final chapter which brings the story up to date – and the three republics to political independence again.
