Summary: "Thirty Days in Lithuania in 1919" by Peter Saurusaitis is a historical account written in the early 20th century, detailing the author's personal experiences and observations during a return trip to his native Lithuania. The book primarily explores the aftermath of World War I in Lithuania, capturing the socio-political landscape and the struggles of the Lithuanian people as they sought to establish their identity and independence in a newly liberated environment. In this narrative, Saurusaitis describes his arduous journey from the United States to Lithuania, navigating various challenges including passport issues, travel turmoil, and the harsh realities of post-war devastation. Upon arriving in Lithuania, he documents the destruction wrought by the conflict, painting a vivid picture of towns reduced to ruins and a population grappling with the consequences of war. The author engages with local communities, discusses the spirit of nationalism that flourished despite oppression from both Polish and Bolshevik forces, and emphasizes the importance of preserving the Lithuanian language and culture. Throughout the book, Saurusaitis not only conveys his deep connection to his homeland but also advocates for total abstinence and shares his hopes for a more prosperous and united Lithuania.
