Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
During the 1960s and 1970s, the U.S. government encouraged a "special relationship" with Communist Romania and its ideologically independent leader Nicolae Ceausescu. The swift deterioration of that relationship is presented in this fascinating inside look at the workings of international diplomacy. Kirk, the U.S. ambassador to Romania from 1985 to 1989, and Raceanu, chief of U.S. and Canadian affairs in the Romanian Foreign Ministry, share their experiences and perceptions of a series of diplomatic initiatives from both countries. While human rights and most-favored-nation trade status were the major topics of contention, the authors also give close analysis to Romania's internal political situation. Making considerable use of classified State Department files, official communications, other public documents, and congressional reports, Kirk and Raceanu reach opposite conclusions about the wisdom of U.S. policy toward Romania, but their insight into the diplomatic process is valuable for students of U.S. foreign policy and international relations. Highly recommended for academic libraries.
