1. Den glömda historien - Den glömda historien är en utmärkt bok som handlar om den forna Östra rikshalvan och de tidigare Östersjöprovinserna. Det är en viktig del av vår historia, då den behandlar svenskarnas historia under de senaste åren. Att vara svensk är inte något som man bara är i Sverige utan även i många andra länder, inte minst i vårt östra närområde. Förhoppningsvis kommer dagens svenskar att intressera sig mer för sina stamfäder i framtiden och inte bara blicka bortom sina egna. Läs boken, den är lättläst och spännande!
