Reviews

An interesting and carefully edited bibliography on all aspects of social, economic, and political life in Romania during Ceausescu's regime. Highly recommended for all public and academic collections.-Choice
Ceausescu's Romania: An Annotated Bibliography is the most comprehensive and up-to-date work on this topic. It reveals a multitude of sources about the obscure atmosphere of a society (the Romanian society in Ceausesu's society in Ceausescu's time) oppressed by one of the worst scourges of the late twentieth century--communism. Any library that supports a program of research and study on Eastern Europe should have this volume in its collections.-Libraries & Culture
