A Complete History of Latvia (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

On the eastern shore of the Baltic Sea lies a small nation that has survived crusading knights, imperial powers, Nazi occupation, Soviet rule, and today stands on the frontline of Europe's most pressing security challenges. This is Latvia-a land whose story has been written and rewritten by others for centuries, until now.

A Complete History of Latvia sweeps from prehistoric amber traders through medieval Livonia, Swedish and Russian empires, two world wars, half a century behind the Iron Curtain, and the hard-won independence that brought EU and NATO membership. But unlike histories that stop at accession, this account pushes through the 2008 financial crisis, the shock of Crimea, and the demographic reckonings of the 2020s-examining what survival means for a nation still defending its right to exist.

Integrating political upheaval with cultural resilience-the Song Festival tradition, Art Nouveau splendor, the moral complexities of occupation-this is the most comprehensive single-volume history of Latvia available in English. It connects medieval Baltic Crusades to 21st-century geopolitics, revealing a country whose thousand-year struggle for sovereignty has never been more urgent.

From Hanseatic quays to NATO tripwire: Latvia's past is prologue.
