Endel Uiga was born on March 3, 1918, just days after Estonia declared its independence from Russia. In his memoir, he describes the idyllic life of a curious and ingenious child with great promise for a successful future while a roiling undercurrent of unrest pervaded eastern Europe. He and his country came of age together, before their destinies diverged during World War II.Although there is a plethora of that war's memoirs, the plight of the Baltic nations, and particularly that of Estonia, has been largely overlooked. Still, more than a recounting of historical facts or the personal reminiscences of a centenarian, the story holds universal truths. Uiga's message is clear. Democracy is fragile, hard-won and easily lost. It's a warning. Citizens in a democracy must make wise choices rather than merely expeditious ones. There's a lot at stake. He calls us to be ever vigilant, upholding democratic principles for the sake of freedom not just now, but for generations to come.
