Description
The Romanian Revolution of December 1989 is a pivotal event in modern history that remains shrouded in mystery. Despite extensive media coverage at the time, many questions about the revolution's causes and consequences remain unanswered. Peter Siani-Davies offers a comprehensive analysis of the events leading up to and following the revolution, drawing on extensive fieldwork conducted in Romania and a wide range of primary sources. By examining how participants interpreted the revolution according to their own scripts and myths, Siani-Davies sheds light on the complex ways in which history is used to serve political purposes. This book provides the most thorough study of the Romanian Revolution available in English, offering a nuanced understanding of this pivotal moment in Eastern European history.
