Publisher's Synopsis
This classic work, the collective effort of a group of Romanian and American historians, is the first new synthesis of the history of the land and people of Romania to appear since the fall of communism in 1989. The newly revised and expanded fourth edition covers the important events that have taken place in Romania in recent times, including the 2000 parliamentary and presidential elections and their aftermath. The history of the region has been divided into five periods: antiquity; the middle ages; the early modern age; the modern age; and the twentieth century. A History of Romania will be a valuable reference work for anyone interested in Romania for years to come.
