"This is an impressive, extensively researched manuscript on a little-known European fascist movement. With a close eye to people and place, it places the unique history of this movement in the tumultuous context of war, revolution, and the emergence of the radical right in Latvia and interwar Europe." - Molly Pucci, author of Security Empire: The Secret Police in Communist Eastern Europe "Finally, a reliable and meticulously researched study of antisemitism and fascism in Latvia before, during, and after World War II. This book shows that one group of Latvians developed their own forms of fascist movements appropriate to local conditions and eagerly participated in the Holocaust as it gave them the opportunity to carry out their long-desired goal of annihilating the Jews." - Roland Clark, University of Liverpool
