Displaced - A Modern Baltic Saga

The cataclysmic forces that in 1944 drove young Juris and his immediate family from their Latvian homeland, coincided with the widespread destruction and reshaping of virtually the entire European geopolitical landscape. This account is a glimpse of those calamitous events as they impacted the life of one small boy from Riga. The work 'Displaced' recounts George's rise over his lifetime from desperate Latvian child refugee to graduate engineer, Australian military officer, international business advisor and ultimately the Honorary Latvian Consul for Queensland Australia.
