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.

From the Back Cover

This book is a revealing insiders' account of the deteriorating special relationship between the United States and Romania in the last years of the Ceausescu dictatorship. The authors were the two chief diplomatic actors in the drama, on opposite sides of the dialogue in Bucharest: Roger Kirk as U.S. ambassador to Romania, Mircea Raceanu as the Romanian Foreign Ministry's chief of U.S. and Canadian affairs. They document the tangled web of state-to-state relations in a way few others could and personalize otherwise impersonal diplomacy, offering vivid portraits of the major players and an invaluable historical record.
