The Baltic Nations and Europe: Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania in the Twentieth Century - Softcover

`a welcome addition to the scholarship on the republics and their road to independence. Hiden and Salmon, historians by trade, provide an excellent treatment of Baltic history...and offer important clues to the origins of nationalism among each of the three ethnic groups.' International Affairs

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.
