Romania 40 Years (1944-1984)

Communist Romania is 40 years old--a long enough time span for judging the successes and failures of a regime. Headed by Dr. Vlad Georgescu, a group of Radio Free Europe analysts has tried to answer some of the questions that have emerged during this almost half-century of Communist impact on the East European country of Romania: the economic transformation, social changes, cultural, and intellectual developments. The Romanian case makes it clear that change and development do not always mean progress. Special attention has been given to Romania's foreign policy. Written by scholars with first-hand experience and knowledge in Romanian affairs, the book represents a much-needed contribution to the history of a regime generally treated with unusual generosity by Western scholars.Georgescu, Vladimir is the author of 'Romania 40 Years (1944-1984)' with ISBN 9780275916442 and ISBN 0275916448.
