Plakans (European history, Iowa State U.) chronicles the evolution and formation of the Latvian nation from the early medieval period to the present, with emphasis on the 19th and 20th centuries. He traces the historical roots of the current Latvian ethnic majority and devotes particular attention to the emergence of an independent Latvia in 1918. An appendix summarizes key events and officials from 1918 to the present, and explains the current system of political parties. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
