Description for The Radical Right in Interwar Estonia
Hardback. Series: Studies in Russian and East European History and Society. Num Pages: 227 pages, biography. BIC Classification: 1DVU; JPQ. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 216 x 140 x 25. Weight in Grams: 445.
The first detailed study of Estonian politics during the 1930s, this book examines the Estonian Veterans' League which won a majority in a referendum for its constitutional amendment creating a strong presidency. The Veterans appeared set to triumph in the 1934 elections, but were thwarted by the establishment of an authoritarian regime. By using formerly unobtainable archival records, this study fills a considerable gap in the literature on the Baltic states and should be appealing to those interested in fascism.
