THE SHADOW IN THE EAST - ALIIDE NAYLOR KARTONIE...

'An insightful  nuanced account that highlights the present multitude of currents at play in
Europe' - Peter Pomerantsev The Baltics are vital democracies in North-Eastern Europe  but with
a belligerent Vladimir Putin to their east - plotting his war on Ukraine - and 'expansionist'
NATO to their west  these NATO members have increasingly been the subject of unsettling
headlines in both Western and Russian media. But beyond the headlines  what is daily existence
like in the Baltics  and what does the security of these frontline nations mean for the world?
Based on her extensive research and work as a journalist  Aliide Naylor takes us inside the
geopolitics of the region. Travelling to the heart of Estonia  Latvia and Lithuania she
explores modernity in the region  investigates smuggling and troop movements in the borderlands
and explains the countries' unique cultural identities. Naylor tells us why the Baltics have
been vital to the political struggle between East and West  and how they play a critical role
in understanding the long running tensions between Russia and Europe.
