Description

Red Horizons: The True Story of Nicolae and Elena Ceausescu's Crimes, Lifestyle, and Corruption In 1987, Lt. Gen. Ion Mihai Pacepa, the highest-ranking defector from the Eastern bloc, published Red Horizons, an expose of the unchecked power and corruption of Nicolae Ceausescu, then the Romanian President and General Secretary of the Communist Party. Pacepa's intention was to bring down the Ceausescu regime and liberate his daughter, whom he had to leave behind in Romania. The book's publication had a significant impact, with Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty beginning to broadcast it into Romania. The Ceausescu regime's grip on power was eventually broken, with the couple being executed by military forces in December 1989. The publication of Red Horizons played a crucial role in revealing the true face of the Ceausescu regime, and its excerpts were printed in the Romanian daily newspaper Truth in December 1989. This book provides a detailed account of the Ceausescu regime's crimes, lifestyle, and corruption, and is a significant contribution to our understanding of this period in history.
