About this book:

Lithuania: Grand Duchy to EU Member Discover the epic saga of Lithuania, a nation that rose from medieval pagan tribes to become a beacon of democracy in modern Europe. *Lithuania: Grand Duchy to EU Member* unveils 600 years of resilience, chronicling the birth of a unified state under Mindaugas, its golden age as a cultural and political powerhouse, and the harrowing struggles against foreign domination—from the Partitions of Poland-Lithuania to Soviet-era oppression.
