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

5.0

My review is inherently biased since I am Romanian. It's hard to imagine someone without some sort of real interest in Romania reading this book, since references to our history abound; it's remarkable to read insightful details regarding Stephan the Great, Matei Corvin, A.I.Cuza, Jassy (Iasi city) and Dobruja (Dobrogea region) written by an American Jewish geopolitical analyst and renowned journalist. Incredible level of detail, probably the best "Selected Bibliography" of Romanian studies, and a heartfelt yet scholarly unbiased view of our complex history. Remarkable.
