Lithuania’s Liberation Movement in the West in the Seventh Decade of the 20th Century: A New Generation Came Forth

The article reviews the political activities of the main Lithuanian liberation organisations in the West in the 1960s – the Lithuanian American Council, the Supreme Committee for the Liberation of Lithuania, the Committee for a Free Lithuania, and the Lithuanian World Community.
