| Summary: | Björn Felder's detailed book, based on his University of Tübingen dissertation, is one of the growing number of studies examining issues that connect the Nazi and Soviet occupations in central and eastern Europe. By focusing on Latvia between 1940 and 1946 Felder takes the reader through the particularly complicated situation in the Baltic states, the contradictions and complexities caused by three occupations in less than a decade. The book documents the speed with which the terroristic Soviet and Nazi regimes brought drastic changes to Latvia, how these occupations raised hopes but left broken promises, and how each influenced long-term human behavior and political dynamics. |
