Items related to The Latvians: A Short History (STUDIES OF NATIONALITIES)
This is the first English-language volume that brings the history of Latvia to the threshold of the twenty-first century. Until the re-establishment of Latvian independence in 1991, Soviet dominance served for nearly fifty years to hinder publication of any complete and objective historical record of the region. Plakans now places the evolution and formation of the Latvian nation in a balanced, historical framework that stretches from the early medieval period to the present.

Review:
"Now when asked to recommend a book...one may confidently point to Plakans's volume. It reads well, holds one's interest, and covers complicated and generally unfamiliar territory in a manner that is both intelligent and still intelligible to the neophyte."
About the Author:
Andrejs Plakans is professor of European history in the Department of History at Iowa State University. He is the author of numerous articles on Latvian and Baltic history.
