One of the most authoritative and respected histories of the Latvian people – Latviešu tautas piedzīvojumi – by distinguished Latvian historian Uldis Ģērmanis – has been rereleased. The book covers the history of the Latvian people from the very beginnings – the Ice Age in the Latvian territory to the end of World War II and Latvian exile. Ģērmanis, who passed away in 1997, presents Latvian history as a series of brief, yet engrossing, stories, all the while conveying the remarkable survival, against all odds, of the Latvian people throughout the millennia, as well as their triumph of building their own nation after centuries of domination and suffering.
