Constantin C. Giurescu was Romania’s leading historian (author of the seminal The History of the Romanian People). This biography follows a war-torn Romania from 1900 to the fall of the Soviet Union, and Constantin is confined to the notorious Sighet penitentiary. Drawing on her grandfather’s prison diary (which was put in a glass jar, buried in a yard, then smuggled out of the country by Dr. Paul E. Michelson—who does the FOREWORD for this book), private letters and her own research, Dr. Giurescu writes of the legacy from the turn of the century to the fall of Communism, the sellout of Eastern Europe to Russia after World War II and finally, the rise of modern Romania.

“The inspirational story of a quiet man and his silent defiance in the face of tyranny —Dr. Connie Mariano, author of The White House Doctor
