The state they were attacking had existed for less than a year. Its army was schoolboys with rifles. Its government had spent the previous nine months meeting in secret apartments under German occupation. The odds were catastrophic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat followed was one of the most remarkable military and political achievements of the twentieth century: a small people, with almost nothing, stopping an empire cold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe War That Made Estonia\u003c\/em\u003e traces the Estonian War of Independence from its desperate opening weeks through the campaigns that drove Soviet forces from Estonian soil, defeated a German-backed coup in Latvia, and secured the Treaty of Tartu - the legal birth certificate of a democratic republic that would endure for twenty years, be destroyed by Soviet occupation, and be restored in 1991 on the same legal foundation its founders had laid in 1920.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the story of armored trains racing through winter darkness, of partisans crossing open fields under machine-gun fire, of diplomats negotiating under military pressure, and of a generation that built a state with their hands and defended it with their lives.
