About the Book

This is a fascinating and very lucid translation of the autobiography of a highly significant figure in post-Soviet Eastern Europe. This stimulating read is a remarkable account of the final days of the Soviet union, and gives invaluable insights to historians and political scientists, as well as the general reader. 'The night that stirred the world's conscience' so Vytautas Landsbergis, the first President of independent, post-Soviet Lithuania, describes the night of 13 January 1991. Thousands of Lithuanians rallied to defend their Parliament against Russian tanks many of them crushed under the tank treads. They ensured the return of their country 'to the map of Europe and the fold of Western society'. Landsbergis retraces the process which led to that memorable night, discussing influences upon himself. He was born into a family of Lithuanian patriots and his interest in music and in the arts generally deepened his awareness and appreciation of Lithuanian culture. He also discusses his country's history under both German and Soviet occupation.



About the Author :
Vytautas Landsbergis, former President of Lithuania, and until recently Chairman of the Lithuanian Parliament. Eimutis Sova was Chairman of the Wales Baltic Society. Anthony Packer is Lecturer at the School of Education, University of Wales Cardiff.

Review :
' ...this is an important book, the first memoir by one of the Lithuanian political leaders to appear in English. Landsbergis held a notable place on the world stage in 1990 and 1991, and historians should take note of his own explanation of his politics ... ' (The Polish Review, Vol XLVII, No 4, 2002)
