Estonia as a Captive Nation: International Cooperation in Exile Within the Assembly of Captive European Nations, 1954-1972

Pauli A Heikkila

The book expands the history of the Cold War to Eastern European emigrants and their networks. The "Assembly of Captive European Nations" was a major organisation for Eastern European emigrants in the US since 1954. The cooperation of exiled politicians from nine countries opened up for them new opportunities for lobbying and publications. This book focuses on Estonian contributions to the ACEN. Besides successes, the book reveals troublesome relations with the American authorities, schisms among Europeans and extended national disputes. The ACEN was quickly forgotten after its dissolution in 1972. Based on extensive archival research, this book reflects the ACEN's aspirations and personalities.
