Moreover. it includes a comprehensive bibliography which testifies to the research and effort that went into this work and provides the student. researcher and scholar of the future with an indispensable tool for studying the ramifying culture of this fabulously absorbing Baltic state. When I say fabulously absorbing I hasten to add that it is Latvias struggle for freedom and her undefeated spirit under the heel of the Soviet Union that renders her story. as told in this chronicle. so dramatic and so appealing to the people of America. and more especially to the people of all the Baltic countries now settled in the United States. Moreover the book fills a gap in the history of our own country for it reveals. sympathetically of course. but without exaggeration and with abundant and precise documentation. the role that Americans of Latvian descent and the early Latvian immigrants to this country have played and are now playing in American progress and good citizenship. The book rightly makes a point of the fact that as of the 1940 census. I quote: Latvians are not mentioned in the report of crime surveys.
