Photos and map.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Part history, part autobiography, WALKING SINCE DAYBREAK tells the tragic story of the Baltic nations before, during, and after World War II. Personal stories of the survival or destruction of Modris Eksteins's family members lend an intimate dimension to this vast narrative of those millions who have surged back and forth across the lowlands bordering the Baltic Sea. The immense cataclysm of World War II devastated the Baltic republics of Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia, sending many of their inhabitants to the ends of the earth. WALKING SINCE DAYBREAK belongs in the great tradition of books that redefine our understanding of history, like J. R. Huizinga's THE WANING OF THE MIDDLE AGES and Jacob Burckhardt's THE RENAISSANCE IN ITALY. Eksteins's two-pronged narrative is a haunting portrait of national loss and the struggle of a displaced family caught in the maw of history.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>An authoritative and moving melange . . . of historical analysis, family legend, and memoir. Boston Globe <p/>Provocative and ambitious. Kirkus Reviews <p/>"A deeply moving and intellectually challenging view of modern history." <p/>The Los Angeles Times<br>
