Contents:
The Molotov-Ribbentrop pact -- The Vilnius complex -- A trojan horse? -- An uncertain winter -- The Soviet invasion -- The refugee -- Moscow's proconsul -- The people's government -- From underground -- "The moor can go" -- The class struggle -- The elections -- Sovietization -- The balance sheet.
Summary: "Alfred Erich Senn, the author of books on the formation of the Lithuanian state in 1918-1920 and on the reestablishment of that independence in 1988-1991, has produced a fascinating account of the Soviet takeover, juxtaposing a picture of the disintegration and collapse of the old regime with the Soviets' imposition of a new order. Discussing the historiography and the living memory of the events, he uses the image of a "shell game" that focused attention on the work of a supposedly "non-communist" government while in the hothouse conditions of military occupation Moscow undermined the state's independent institutions and introduced a revolution from above."--Jacket
