The collective monograph “Lithuania in 1940–1991: the History of Occupied Lithuania” aims to summarize all the newest history-related research of the recent decades about Lithuania. This is one of the first books summarizing all the developments during the five decades-long foreign annexation of Lithuania. The annexation influenced the life of all the Lithuanians. There were many factors influencing the Lithuanian history, which are represented in the book: wars and their consequences; economic changes; cultural restrictions; the Church’s resistance; the resistance movement members and foreign invaders; the world-wide diaspora of Lithuanians and Lithuania-based dissidents, who fought for the independence until gaining it.
