“My goal was to give a general idea of the history of the Baltic region, which unites various lands belonging to Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Russia, Belarus and Germany, through the lives of the people who formed it. Since individual areas of the Baltic region have an interconnected history, understanding the history of one country will very much help to understand others ... Creating a book, I followed, as far as possible, chronological sequence, and did not divide it into geographical sections. With the help of this methodology, one can show how closely individual stories are intertwined. ” (Caroline Boggis-Rolph)
