Review Quotes
Irina Livezeanu's excellent book on interwar Romania should be assigned as compulsory reading to all those who, in their understandable disdain for the Communist abuses of the past forty-five years, yearn for the 'good old days.'... Her masterful account... highlights once again how hateful a place East Central Europe was to the Jews, and how the pre-Communist past should be anything but extolled or emulated by contemporary intellectuals and politicians.
--Andrei S. Markovits "Austrian History Yearbook, 1997"Only since the fall of Ceausescu have Romanians been able to attempt a reconstruction of their recent past and to interrogate it.... Dr. Livezeanu's book is one of great relevance for an understanding of nation-building in the contemporary world. It is the first major work in any language on the efforts by Romanian governments to harmonize the divergent groups in the newly-annexed terrorities and to consolidate the young state.
