Raamat annab lühiülevaate Eesti ajaloost muinasajast kuni nõukogude okupatsiooni aastateni.

Numerous publications are available about Estonia from small booklets to voluminous specialized treatises.

In addition this book also attempts to establish a certain balance in the information available. The market is presently flooded with English language books and booklets from Tallinn, the capital of the Soviet-occupied Estonia. These publications present the Communist viewpoint distorting Estonia's history and presenting a totally false and one-sided picture of the situation in the country where Estonians must endure the ongoing occupation while at the same time facing Russification. The general public must be warned against such literature which is being distributed gratis and wholesale to universities, libraries and news media.
