I wanted to read this book because I recently watched a video on Lithuanian mythology and realised that I know next to nothing about Lithuania even though it’s just across the Baltic Sea from me. More so, I really like medieval history and this book stopped in the late 1500s it sounded perfect for my interest.

The book is titled “A Short History”, and the chapters are very concise, which I think is good because there are a lot of historical people mentioned and when the chapters are clearer and concise it was easier to keep all the names apart. Very easy to read.

What I knew before of Lithuanian history was mostly around the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth – and that was after 1569 – when Kutzal’s book ended. All in all, an interesting read and I think I know more about Lithuania now.
