"Estonians' Liberation Way summarizes chronologically and step-by-step the historic years, in which Estonian independence was restored and the country liberated from Soviet occupation. Estonians managed to skillfully manipulate the power struggle going on between the Kremlin's communist dictators, steer through the treacherous reefs set up by the occupying power, and ignore its threats. By exploiting the breakup of the Soviet empire, Estonians were able to achieve freedom, independence, and the right to self-determination for the second time in a century. Bloodless revenge was exacted from the aggressive conqueror beyond the eastern border for the half a century of colonization and humiliation it had endured."
