Description
‘An insightful, nuanced account that highlights the present multitude of currents at play in Europe' - Peter PomerantsevThe Baltics are vital democracies in North-Eastern Europe, but with a belligerent Vladimir Putin to their east – plotting his war on Ukraine – and ‘expansionist’ NATO to their west, these NATO members have increasingly been the subject of unsettling headlines in both Western and Russian media.
But beyond the headlines, what is daily existence like in the Baltics, and what does the security of these frontline nations mean for the world?
Based on her extensive research and work as a journalist, Aliide Naylor takes us inside the geopolitics of the region.
Travelling to the heart of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania she explores modernity in the region, investigates smuggling and troop movements in the borderlands, and explains the countries’ unique cultural identities.
Naylor tells us why the Baltics have been vital to the political struggle between East and West, and how they play a critical role in understanding the long running tensions between Russia and Europe.
