From the ashes of the great Russian Empire, Latvia emerged as a united nation in 1919 and created a state with institutions that blended the traditions of East and West, its peoples' past and future. Boys of the Dvina is the story of a small country surrounded by enemies that, in the aftermath of its own bloody civil war, prepared for inevitable conflict in a hostile and uncertain Europe. Boys of the Dvina is the first and only publication in English to explore the Latvian military between the world wars. The third edition contains even more information from Latvian sources, including exclusive never-before published photographs, diagrams, and sketches. This book is an essential for any collector, Latvian history, or military history enthusiast.
