A leader of "the new Europe" offers a unique perspective on
recent history.
A stalwart ally and strategic partner in the war against terror
and a new member of NATO, Romania with its vibrant democracy and
robust economy is a far different place than it was in
mid-twentieth century. According to some analysts, the twentieth
century was a "short century" spanning the years from the outbreak
of World War I in 1914 to the fall of Soviet-style Communism in
1991. It was nevertheless one of the most dynamic and dramatic
centuries in the history of civilization, featuring two world wars
of unprecedented atrocity, the rise of Fascism, state Communism,
the fall of the colonial empires, the Cold War, and the global
confrontation of two opposing political systems. This book depicts,
from the uniquely personal perspective of Ion Iliescu, former
president of Romania, some of the historical drama of that "short
century."
