Author Description

Relying on documents from archives and the recollections of the editors of the Kronika, the book reveals many facts about the difficult situation of the Catholic Church in Lithuania in the years of Soviet oppression and about the opposition to the persecution perpetrated by the Communist Party and Soviet Security Committee. It discusses the Catholic opposition movement and especially the difficult and dangerous work of the organizers and distributors of the underground periodical "The Chronicle of the Catholic Church in Lithuania", which made an important contribution to the emancipation of the nation from Communism. --From publisher.
