Landsbergis (former president of Lithuania) offers a first-person account of the movement for Lithuanian independence and the ensuing conflict with the Soviet Union. He discusses the influence of German and Soviet occupations, mass deportations, and censorship, as well as describing the tone of everyday life under Soviet rule. He also offers details of the difficulties faced by the Lithuanian government after Parliament declared a new independence in 1990. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR
