Historical dictionary of Latvia
Plakans (history, Iowa State U.) offers a first step toward the creation of a integrated history of his native Baltic country, which was independent in the 1920s and 1930s, annexed by the Soviet Union in the 1940s, and granted sovereignty again in 1991. He presents entries on political events and their players, agencies and organizations, regions and locations, movements, artists, writers, scientists, and other contributors to Latvian culture. He also includes a simple map, a chronology, and an introductory survey of the country's history. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
