Product Description

Synopsis

This reissue of Lt.Gen. Ion Mihai Pacepa's book contains a new introduction by the author, an expanded section of photographs, and a transcript of the December 1989 trial that sentenced Nicolae and Elena Ceausescu to death. This renowned expose of the unchecked power of the Ceausescu regime in Romania is an authoritative source on the extensive Bucharest links with the international terrorist network. The author was the head of Romanian intelligence when he defected to the United States in 1978. He was the highest-ranking defector ever from the Eastern bloc and his full-time CIA debriefing lasted for three years. The Romanian people learned the extent of the Ceausescu's corruption when Radio Free Europe began broadcasting excerpts from this book into Romania in 1987. And when the Romanian daily newspaper "Truth" declared itself free after the Ceausescus were toppled, the editors began printing excerpts from this work.

4.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining, read critically, 5 Nov 2008
This review is from: Red Horizons: The Extraordinary Memoirs of a Communist Spy Chief (Coronet Books) (Paperback)
Very interesting and engaging overview of political life in Communist Romania. The combabitive Cold War stance is slightly dated now and I would not put blind faith in all of the writings of this author- but certainly entertaining reading for anyone with an interest in 'closed Europe'.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating, but take with a pinch of salt, 10 Jul 2007
This review is from: Red Horizons: Chronicles of a Communist Spy Chief (Hardcover)
I first read this book around 1990, and found it very interesting then - nearly 20 years, a lot of study, and a few trips to Romania later, i still think it's excellent, but for different reasons. Some of the "facts" presented look a bit shaky, with the benefit of hindsight - however, these misleading insights are illustrative of a particular mindset, and I wonder if some of them are not a little bit of self-justification. Not a serious study of the DIE or Securitate, but works the twin themes of the wackiness of the Ceacescus and the role of "influence" very well.
