The book begins with Romania's involvement in the Second World War, looking at the communist regime in depth. It examines how communism took hold and the elimination of traditional elites took place, before discussing the impact of Gheorghiu-Dej and Nicolae Caeusescu, the two most important leaders of the communist era. The following chapters cover the main social and economic changes during the communist regime. The second part of the book explores the transition period following the end of communism in 1989, with special attention given to international relations and Romania's drive for inclusion in NATO and the EU. "Romania since the Second World Wa"r assesses socio-demographic trends across the postwar period before concluding with some thoughts on the nation's development during this time. 606 $2European history 607 $aRomania$xHistory$y1944-1989 607 $aRomania$xHistory$y1989- 607 $aRomania$xPolitics and government$y1944-1989 607 $aRomania$xPolitics and government$y1989- 676 $a949.803 700 $aAbraham$b Florin$01208372 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910149403303321 996 $aRomania since the Second World War$92787588 997 $aUNINA
