Latvia: The Challenges of Change
ISBN: 9780415267304 / Angielski / Twarda / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The past one hundred years have been a very trying time for Latvia, complete with success, tragedy, and still unrealized promise.

Almost fifty years later, Latvia regained its independence and emerged from decades of disastrous Soviet rule.

The Baltic States and Weimar Ostpolitik
ISBN: 9780521893251 / Angielski / Miękka / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The historical and geographical significance of the Baltic Sea as a Russian gateway to the West has sometimes overshadowed its reciprocal significance as a German window on the East, but in the period after the First World War the Baltic was to become of critical importance to a German state then shorn of much international authority. This study shows in detail how the Weimar Republic sought to develop its economic influence in the newly independent Baltic states, to ensure the retention of a vital 'springboard' into Russia after 1918.
