Uldis Ģērmanis The Latvian Saga
The history of the Latvian people is the story of a ceaseless battle for freedom, of many victims and of heroic deeds. No victim fell in vain, because each sacrifice granted strength, faith and pride to those who survived.
Uldis Ģērmanis
Who are the Latvians?
Where did they come from, and how did they end up by the Baltic Sea?
What inspired them to establish a free country, what caused them to lose it, and how did they win it back?
This new translation of Uldis Ģērmanis' legendary The Latvian Saga is the first English-language history to tell the full story of the Latvian people in a way all can understand. It presents history, but reads like a novel. It describes the people, powers and events that made Latvia what it is today, and puts it all in a broader European context. Completed in 1958, it inspired several generations of Latvians to dedicate their lives to the restoration of Latvia? s independence in 1991. This special expanded edition of Ģērmanis' powerful book features new full-colour maps and photographs, as well as a supplementary section by Latvia's former Ambassador to the United States, Ojārs Kalniņš, which brings the history of Latvia up to date to our present era.
