Description :
Why did Lithuania's dictator in the 1920s (the pro-Nazi Augustinas Voldemaras) kick the author out of the country for writing this seemingly harmless book? What was the significance of the fact that the author's father tutored a teenage Lenin while both were in law school in Russia? And how was this ground-breaking equivalent of "Lithuanian History for Dummies" about a century ahead of its time? This centennial edition of a ground-breaking classic, in the original Russian, includes an introduction written by the author's grandson, a Harvard graduate and PhD in political science, in which he describes the detective work through which he solved various mysteries relating to the book. He also describes three interesting parallels that were impressed on him, including the striking similarities between the dictator Voldemaras and the present-day American authoritarian politician Donald J. Trump. In a sense, this book represents a case study in the power of the written word and the repercussions that its exercise can generate. One hundred years later, at a time of heightened assault on both truth and freedom of speech worldwide-with authoritarianism steadily on the rise-these themes remain as timely as ever.
