Krátky popis
A vivid, brilliant, darkly humorous and horrifying history of some
of the strangest dictators that Europe has ever seen. 'A witty and
page-turning narrative full of grotesque characters' Misha Glenny
'Will leave you astonished, exhausted and curious... An
unapologetic page turner' Spectator 'Essential reading for anyone
interested in Romania past and present' John Simpson 'An engaging
introduction to the rich history [of Romania]' New
StatesmanBalanced precariously on the shifting fault line between
East and West, Romania's past is one of the great untold stories of
modern Europe.The country that gave us Vlad Dracula, and whose
citizens consider themselves descendants of ancient Rome, has
traditionally preferred the status of enigmatic outsider. But it
has experienced some of the most disastrous leaderships of the last
century. After a relatively benign period led by a dutiful King and
his vivacious British-born Queen, the country oscillated wildly.Its
interwar rulers form a gallery of bizarre characters: the corrupt
and mentally unbalanced King Carol, the fascist death cult led by
Corneliu Codreanu, the vain General Ion Antonescu. After 1945 power
was handed to Romania's tiny communist party, under which it
experienced severe repression, purges and collectivisation. Then in
1965, Nicolae Ceau?escu came to power.And thus began the strangest
dictatorship of all.
