Book Synopsis Baltic Biographies at Historical Crossroads by : Aili Aarelaid-Tart
Book excerpt: Lying on the coastline of the Baltic Sea, the small but strategically well located Baltic territories have historically found themselves in the middle of many power struggles between larger states, empires and other power-holders. This book brings together life stories from five generations of Balts, living through the diverse and recurring transformations of the 20th century; occupations, war, independence, totalitarianism, and democratic rule and market economy.
