In Europe's Shadow: Two Cold Wars and a Thirty-Year Journey Through Romania and Beyond by Robert D. Kaplan

4.0

Great overview of the recent (and not so recent) history of Romania, told through the experiences of a journalist who has been visiting the country over the last 30 years or so. I would recommend this book to anyone traveling into Romania and who would like to understand the country and its people a bit better. After reading this book, I felt I could better sympathize with the Romanians - which is wonderful when a book can accomplish this.
